To support a fast-growing public company that uses synthetic DNA tools to develop and create products in the fields of medicine, agriculture, industrial chemicals, and data storage, it takes a team of experts across numerous specialties. When it came time for a new and highly specialized space outside of Twist’s South San Francisco Headquarters, Fortis Construction stepped up with such a team of experts to deliver this $43M expansion of an existing 100,000sf warehouse/office facility. The results is a spec building that now has the look and feel of a modern bioscience facility, housing laboratories (gene, synthesis and silicon), an ISO 8 cleanroom, engineering studio, photolithography, secured chemical areas, and an array of specialized operations and administrative areas.
"I'm always looking for new and exciting challenges, and there has been no shortage of projects at Fortis to provide them."
