BIOPONS brings substantial experience (as client or as client's representative) of site selection and evaluation and of working with landlords, architects and engineers on biotechnology company facilities in the UK and USA, with an emphasis on wet laboratories. We have a very keen awareness of economics and cost-drivers, and will contribute creatively to help clients achieve the lowest cost consonant with their technical, functional and esthetic needs. Working with design teams, we have pioneered the adaptation of low rental cost industrial space and low-cost laboratory furniture for high technology laboratory use. In the Greater Madison area we have an up-to-date knowledge of facilities options (ranging from top-end research park to low rental cost industrial flex space) and a strong network of contacts.
