350:, a new biomedical research center had been planned for some time. However, certain variables made it difficult to identify which users would be occupying the space. Rather than designing and building out the space based largely on client speculation, which would likely have resulted in numerous change orders and cost overruns, Omniplan developed a plan to design and bid the project in two stages. First, Omniplan designed an enclosed structural shell for the 16-story structure, which could easily be finished out at a later date. Then, once the school had identified its users, Omniplan was able to work directly with them to design an optimal interior, complete with a conference center and faculty and staff dining. In addition to the research facility, this project also encompasses underground and above-ground parking structures, a landscaped plaza, and expansion of the thermal energy plant. 268:'s 100-acre site in Richardson, Texas, accommodates a phaseable campus of office, research, manufacturing and assembly buildings.
