Rockville, a major biopharma hub in the United States, continues to invest in the future of life sciences with the opening of an 8,200-square-foot facility, designed to foster the next generation of life science talent. This state-of-the-art space will serve as a hub for biopharma training and education, offering greater opportunities for those pursuing careers in the field.

The facility was thoughtfully designed with sustainability and tenant wellness at its core. Features such as a fully equipped fitness center and enhanced accessibility ensure a welcoming and inclusive environment for all.

Beyond the building itself, the surrounding plaza, designed by Ewing Cole Baltimore, has been transformed into a functional and visually striking outdoor space. Unilock Umbriano® pavers in Winter Marvel and Midnight Sky create a captivating linear design. The plaza’s color-blocking pattern seamlessly guides pedestrians from the parking lot to the main entrance, while also providing an inviting setting for tenants to gather and enjoy fresh air. To ensure the space maintains its aesthetic appeal, the Umbriano® pavers feature EnduraColor™ technology for enhanced color, durability and strength, as well as EasyClean™ technology for integral surface protection against stains. Together, these innovations make the pavers particularly well-suited for this bustling plaza, preserving its beauty and functionality over time.

Linear planter beds integrated into the paver layout bring vibrant greenery, flowers, and trees to the space. The design is perfectly complemented by bold yellow umbrellas, creating an eye-catching pop of color.

Tenants and visitors are sure to enjoy both the innovative facility and thoughtfully designed outdoor plaza.
