This biomedical research facility and corporate campus sits adjacent to Florida Atlantic University on 30 acres in Jupiter, Florida. The three-building, 350,000-sq-ft research center is used for basic biomedical science, drug discovery and technology development, and also features administrative offices and learning and function facilities.
After four months of construction, the project was stopped by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers due to wetlands-related permitting issues on adjacent property. The Weitz/DPR team and Scripps was forced to abandon the work that had been completed, identify a new site, and redesign and re-price the project.
