Diversa
San Diego, California
Diversa is a dual building campus developed for a global leader in discovering and developing biomolecules for use in agriculture, chemical processing, industrial applications, and pharmaceutical applications. Engineering services were provided in two separate phases. Phase I consisted of a 74,500 sf office/laboratory facility; and Phase II consisted of a 60,500 sf 2-story office/laboratory and Nuclear Magnetic Resource facility. Unique and distinctive design was carefully planned to develop sophisticated variable air volume laboratory fume exhaust systems that sustain multiple laboratory environments. Ingenuity in calculating and planning brought together a well-thought layout for this modern campus, including its fermentation Pilot Plant. Imaginative engineering created comfortable and energy efficient environments for the 200-seat lunchroom/lecture hall, office spaces, warehouse, library, and main equipment areas.
