There are another 5,000 assignable square feet of backfill at Katherine G. Johnson Hall and Discovery Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The building houses advanced research laboratories, specialized teaching facilities and flexible innovation zones that are designed to facilitate groundbreaking work in fields such as bioengineering, bioinformatics and computational life sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ ALSO<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/life-science-trends-to-watch-in-2025\/\">Life Science Trends to Watch in 2025<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The structure is designed to support a growing academic community and features instructional labs, experiential learning spaces, classrooms and offices. The building serves the diverse needs of GMU\u2019s Colleges, including Engineering and Computing, Science, Education and Human Development, and Visual and Performing Arts. The facility caters to STEM-H disciplines, supporting students and faculty engaged in cutting-edge research and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-skanska-s-project-pipeline\">Skanska&#8217;s project pipeline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Skanska is currently working on projects totaling more than $640 million across Maryland, Washington, D.C., Virginia and North Carolina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, in Baltimore, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wexford-university-of-maryland-complete-baltimore-life-science-building\/\">a life science building opened<\/a> in January when Wexford Science &amp; Technology and the University of Maryland, Baltimore, launched 4MLK, an eight-story, 400,000-square-foot center.

The project aims to transform an entire city block at East 25th Street and First Avenue on Hunter College\u2019s Brookdale Campus into a 2 million-square-foot hub for life science innovation and education, featuring academic, public health and research space. The anticipated contract award is expected to be about $1.6 billion, with construction scheduled to begin at the end of this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The facility expands Mason University\u2019s SciTech campus along Virginia\u2019s tech corridor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3568,"featured_media":1004750466,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21782,11,21742,21747,1615],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004750449","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-development","category-midatlantic","category-latest","category-office","category-washington-dc"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
