USF SP Poynter Lab

Services - LEED Platinum Certification & Commissioning

The multi-purpose lab is fitted for both biology and physics studies. It has floor ports for every student, which is a requirement for physics. 

The reconstruction began last July after it was decided there was a need for more labs and there happened to be a nearby empty Greyhound station to adapt. Because it was only a reconstruction, it helped keep the cost down. Where a complete demolition and rebuild would have cost roughly $5.5 million, remodeling the existing structure cost roughly $3.5 million instead. 

 The Project is targeting a LEED Platinum certificate, a first for a USF building.
