Verge Civil Engineering was selected to provide full site civil design for a new life science research campus on a previously undeveloped 12‑acre parcel. The facility required specialized infrastructure to support advanced laboratory operations, including redundant utility feeds and strict environmental controls. CEO Zachary and his team collaborated closely with architects and lab consultants from day one.
The site was adjacent to protected wetlands, requiring careful erosion control and a 100‑foot buffer with no disturbance. Additionally, the lab’s operations demanded redundant water, power, and data utilities, any single point of failure could compromise critical research. The high water table also posed difficulties for underground stormwater infiltration.
The project received all environmental permits in just six months thanks to proactive agency coordination. Zero wetland impacts were recorded during or after construction. The campus opened on schedule, and the first two lab tenants moved in within 90 days of certificate of occupancy.
