Document Description
The Venter Institute is proposing to construct a 45,000 sq. ft. research institute for the J. Craig Venter Institute, a private, Maryland based institute with programs involving the UCSD campus and its researchers. The structure would house laboratory/research space, support space, dining, fitness, and conference facilities. The project design is highly sustainable through the use of high performance architecture, low energy systems, renewable power (solar and wind), sustainable landscape and water conservation. The proposed project would be constructed/operated by the Venter Institute under a long term (i.e., 52 years) lease to the Regents of the University of California.
