Custom Components Company Announces New Project Award – SCRM Sanford Consortium – San Diego, CA

June 14, 2011 - PRLog -- Custom Components Company announces the award of a new project in San Diego, CA, Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine (SCRM).  The new $104 million project is a 144,000 sq. ft. facility and laboratory for stem cell research and is being built adjacent to the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) campus in Torrey Pines, California.  The facility includes innovative architectural elements and mechanical systems that not only drive collaboration and scientific productivity, but also improve the building’s functional and operating economy.  The site totals 7.5 acres and is owned by the University of California and is designated for academic use by the University’s overall development plan.  The SCRM facility will achieve the principal functional purpose by incorporating design features such as horizontally and vertically open laboratories, and strategically placed informal and formal meeting and education spaces, all intended to maximize face-to-face interactions among SCRM resident and non-resident scientists.  Movable features on a traditional model will add functionality to a building designed to serve more rapid team science in a field with constantly changing technologies. It will also include state-of-the-art cyber-linked education and conference facilities.

SCRM’s project team includes the San Diego based architectural firm Lankford and Associates.  The general contractor is Hensel Phelps Construction Company.  Completion of the project is targeted for the November of 2011.

Custom Components Company is currently installing custom design 700 Series railing, which incorporates ½” clear tempered glass and stainless steel components.
