Project Description
The Alfond Center is a state-of-the-art facility spanning 245,000 gross square feet, scheduled for substantial completion by October 2027. This innovative structure will feature a double-height gathering space known as “the portal,” a third-floor roof terrace, a multifunctional sixth floor, and a unique two-story mass timber section. Designed to be fully electric, the building will incorporate advanced geothermal wells, air-source heat pumps, an electric boiler, and a chiller for heating and cooling. The Alfond Center will house wet labs, computational labs, research spaces, classrooms, and a variety of gathering and huddle rooms, making it a central hub for academic and research activities.
