The Design-Build project, competitively bid for Cal Poly and the California Central Coast Research Partnership, established a technology lab facility designed to bridge academia and industry. The building serves as a collaborative space where research firms can lease both dry and wet labs while working alongside Cal Poly students. The design prioritized flexibility to accommodate diverse tenant requirements and equipment needs.​
