Construction on the David Murdock Core Lab Building at the North Carolina Research Campus (NCRC) in Kannapolis is slated for completion in late 2007. The $200-million, 311,000-sf facility will house approximately $90 million in equipment including a 900 megahertz NMR, an 800 megahertz NMR, and a 700 megahertz NMR. The facility will be managed by Duke University and will include a genomics lab, an imaging facility with electron microscopes, and a GMP manufacturing facility for biologics and small molecules.
The construction manager for the project, which broke ground in late February of 2006, is Turner Construction. Also under construction on the 350-acre campus is the 130,000-sf University of North Carolina Institute for Excellence in Nutrition. A 24,000-sf central energy plant to serve the entire campus was completed in June of 2007.
