For early-stage to mature bioscience companies, the UMB BioPark offers a sophisticated laboratory and office environment on UMB’s vibrant academic medical center campus.

The 10-acre BioPark on the west side of campus will boast 1.2 million square feet of lab and office space in ten buildings plus garage parking and landscaped parks at final build-out. By Fall 2007, 360,000 square feet in two multi tenant buildings and one garage will be completed and initial development plans for a third similar building are underway.

BioPark building designs maximize flexibility to accommodate a range of occupancies from 750-square-foot lab and office suites in a dedicated BioAccelerator to full floor users. Infrastructure meets the requirements of the most demanding science environments while permitting optimum internal planning flexibility with minimum intrusions.

News

Building Two of the UMB BioPark opened on March 31, 2008 as a crowd of 400 celebrated with political leaders, university faculty and administrators, bioscience and area business leaders, and community members. The event also marked the groundbreaking for Building Three, highlighting the phenomenal growth of the BioPark. In just five years the BioPark has added 380,000 square feet of lab and office space in two buildings, nine acres of land, 200 jobs and a parking garage with the third and fourth (the Maryland Forensic Center) buildings coming soon.

UMB has partnered with Baltimore City Community College and Vivien T. Thomas Medical Arts Academy to site a life sciences training program at the BioPark. The BCCC Life Sciences Institute will take up 38,000 square feet in Building Two and will train about 200 students a year. The program will provide opportunities for high school students to get more hands-on experience in laboratory work and will also award associate’s degrees and certificates in the life sciences to community college students.  

Additional tenant announcements: Paragon Bioservices will move from the Hopkins Bayview Campus into expanded facilities in Building Two. The research firm Westat, now headquartered in Rockville, opened a satellite office in the BioInnovation Center in Building Two.

A new Life Sciences Conference Center is open at the UMB BioPark. The space includes highly sophisticated audio visual amenities and can accommodate a variety of meeting space configurations. The center will have a 105-seat auditorium opening in fall of this year. For information on using this space, contact Brendan McHugh at bmchugh@collierspinkard.com.
