It is programmed to provide a new, state-of-theart facility that combines research and education outreach to the greater Texas High Plains region. The research lab spaces are provided through a series of open labs, dedicated support through procedure rooms and equipment space, and shared laboratory support. By recognizing best practices in research lab design, these spaces were programmed to create long-term flexibility through principles of modularity, standardized laboratory modules, and organized systematic delivery of laboratory piped services, exhaust, power, and data. The educational outreach is supported through a flat-floor multipurpose training room, a demonstration kitchen, and a seminar space. Lastly, the office space will provide the critical workspace for AgriLife Research and Extension administration, faculty, and staff. The planning amount for the project is $30,000,000, which includes an Amount Available for Construction Contract (AACC) of $22,224,821. Fees, furnishings, other work, miscellaneous expenses, and contingencies make up the balance of the Planning Amount.
