ORLANDO, FL – Construction is underway on a $5 Million
plus renovation project of the 50,000 square feet UCF Business Incubator in the
Central Florida Research Park.
Carol Ann Dykes,
site manager for the Research Park incubator, said the facility, established in
1999, is getting a major upgrade and has undergone six months of a 13-month
large-scale renovation project slated for completion in February of next
year.
“These facilities are some of the older buildings in
Research Park and most of the life safety, telecommunications, electrical,
lighting and HVAC systems are outdated.
"In addition, the internal configuration of the buildings has not been
well suited for use as an incubator and we now have the opportunity to fix
that.” Dykes said.
The work also includes the build-out of five much needed
chemical wet labs and additional work spaces for companies that need to set up
assembly and/or workstations.
“We are fortunate
to have an amazing team from UCF Facilities as well as the general contractor
Wharton Smith. Everyone has gone above
and beyond to make this project as smooth as possible for our clients who are
occupying the facilities during the renovations.”
Currently the
Research Park incubator houses over 45 early stage and Soft Landing technology
client companies.
