NSU CENTER FOR COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH <br />architecture • engineering Davie, Florida <br />Located at Nova Southeastern University's Davie <br />campus, the Center for Collaborative Research <br />(CCR) will be a state -of- the -art, cooperative <br />interdisciplinary center for medical, pharmaceu- <br />tical, dental and oceanographic research. The <br />220,000 square foot building, which will pursue <br />a LEEDO Silver Certification, will include access <br />to a six level 1,650 car parking garage, provid- <br />ing additional student parking and parking for the <br />CCR staff. <br />The CCR will house one of the largest wet - <br />lab research facilities in Florida. The wet lab <br />will be a home base for applied health care <br />research and medical informatics. Researchers <br />will collaborate within this advanced environ- <br />ment to investigate pharmaceutical synthesis, <br />cancer therapy, human stem cell research, bio- <br />materials, wildlife DNA forensics, and ocean <br />biomaterials. Our design will incorporate bio- <br />medical labs, tissue culture suites, microscopy <br />facilities, and small animal vivariums with ABSL <br />-2 suites and surgical suites. The CCR will be <br />home to the Rumbaugh- Goodwin Institute for <br />Cancer Research; investigators from the Health <br />Professions Division; and the U.S. Geological <br />Survey (USGS). The federal agency is partner- <br />ing with NSU, Florida Atlantic University and the <br />University of Florida to promote scientific coop- <br />eration for the Greater Everglades Restoration <br />Project. <br />In addition, the CCR project will be linked to the <br />Florida LambdaRail (Florida's Research and <br />Education Network - operating a statewide high <br />performance fiber -optic network infrastructure <br />linking Florida's research institutions worldwide). <br />The CCR building will incorporate all of the latest <br />modern educational technology while blending in <br />the Mediterranean Architecture of the surround- <br />ing Academical Village. Our design will follow <br />NIH guidelines, Guide for Care and use of Lab <br />Animals, AAALAC standards, and the National <br />Research Council. <br />architecture engineering <br />roofing consulting <br />construction mana ement <br />
