MISSOURI S&T PROTOPLEX

Through a competitive selection process, Missouri University of Science and Technology chose PARIC as construction manager at risk for the new Protoplex building which will anchor the Manufacturing Technology and Innovation Campus.

The facility will serve as a hub connecting industry, state and federal agencies and colleges and universities throughout Missouri, all with the aim of developing new processes and products for Missouri manufacturers. The Protoplex also will streamline the process of moving research and innovation from university laboratories to the marketplace.

The $53.4 million, 116,000-square-foot building includes lab and shop spaces plus high bay or double-height labs. Also included are meeting and collaboration spaces, offices, storage and display spaces plus a lobby area.
