sPARK Biomanufacturing Facilities

As a hub for life science growth, the sPARK Life Science campus introduces a convergence of science, technology, and urban activity. Central to the campus are the Biomanufacturing Facilities (BMF) 1 and 2, supporting biomedical production from clinical research to commercial application. Positioned prominently, these buildings serve as visual anchors for the campus and are integrated into the broader site while fulfilling substantial manufacturing roles.

Navigating Morrisville’s Unified Development Ordinance, the unique character balances regulatory constraints with architectural intent. BMF 1 reinterprets traditional tilt-up construction with canted panels that create an undulating façade; BMF 2 features recessed green areas. Both buildings use glass and metal to define collaboration zones and entrances, linking the building’s edge to the landscape while maintaining a cohesive design language.

The facilities are purpose-built and robustly engineered to meet the requirements of advanced biomanufacturing. Infrastructure is tailored to significant water and power demands, and siphonic drains optimize structural efficiency and interior clear heights while managing costs.

Beyond technical function, the facilities are positioned to generate significant socioeconomic impact in Morrisville and the Triangle region. Capable of housing up to 1,200 professionals, they assure a holistic ecosystem where advanced technology and a shared vision converge to deliver groundbreaking advancements all within the sPARK campus.
