Rubicon Point Partners, a leading commercial real estate investment company, was looking to reposition a 9-story commercial office building adjacent to the UCSF Parnassus campus for use as a research spec laboratory facility. The program included laboratory and office spaces, tenant amenities, upgrades to the existing core spaces, and infrastructure upgrades including new rooftop mechanical equipment, new generator, and new compressed dry air and vacuum skids. Due to very limited space above the ceiling, Taylor Design worked closely with the design-build MEP subcontractorson duct and utility runs to achieve the desired look and feel of the space. As a second phase of the project, Taylor Design provided tenant improvement for Rubicon’s tenant Foundery, an immunotherapy innovation start-up.
