  • Huntsville, AL (1888PressRelease) May 27, 2022 - In May 2022, BioLabShare LLC will lease several acres from Dormerville Properties, LLC to commence the development of a coliving and a coworking bioinnovative facilities for bioentrepreneurs in the startup and emerging biotechnology, life science, and health technologies industries. The leasing agreement between BioLabShare, LLC and Dormerville Properties, LLC will allow the company to create needed bioresearch wet lab space within the emerging and burgeoning biotech hub of Huntsville, Alabama. Dr. Dormer, the CEO of BioLabShare, LLC states, “I believe that creating a separate facility and mini-campus outside of a university campus will allow us to better serve the mission of BioLabShare within the Huntsville area”. He continues, “Our mission is twofold: one to help alleviate the shortage of bioresearch wet lab space within the United States and two, to diversify the field of biotechnology”.

    The bioscience complex will consist of two buildings to be built concurrently. The bioresearch wet laboratory consists of a two-story structure and is 11,500SF. The upper floor will consist of bioentrepreneurial space and the lower floor will contain a smart classroom, a training bioresearch lab, a cafe, and an office suite. The 12-unit 3-story apartment complex will be 13,500SF. Both buildings will use modular construction methods to decrease construction costs and increase reproducibility at other locations. The co-living/co-working arrangement is a unique model for bioincubators that will allow bioentrepreneurs to have an affordable residence near their bioworkspace. Such an arrangement is pertinent in a fast-growing city such as Huntsville, where living spaces are at a premium.

    BioLabShare's goal is still to build their bio-minicampuses on the grounds of HBCUs. Even so, having a stand-alone Huntsville location will best serve the two HBCUs within the City of Huntsville: Alabama A&M University and Oakwood University. Dr. Dormer mentioned, “BioLabShare, LLC plans to partner with the HBCUs within the City of Huntsville to provide those institution’s faculty, staff, and students bioentrepreneurial opportunity and needed revenue from biotechnology-based intellectual property licensing, milestone payments, and royalties.” BioLabShare will maintain its focus on investing in premier life science and research assets connected to HBCUs across the country.
