The University of Miami (UM) has been enjoying a growing national prominence as a community that nurtures research, development, and commercialization of university-based innovations. To continue its creation of high-value intellectual capital and to bridge the gap between academia and industry, UM has commissioned the construction of six new buildings in the northeast sector of the 168-acre University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Medical Center Complex, better known as the Miami Health District

The six buildings are design-bid-build projects. NFP is working on the first two buildings now – the Research & Development Building (1a) and the Tissue Bank Building (1b). The project is utilizing BIM modeling for the fire protection design and coordination. The R&D Building is a seven-story administration and laboratory building, with wet sprinkler systems, standpipe systems, and a new fire pump system. The Tissue Bank is a three-story building housing clean rooms and office areas, with wet systems and standpipe systems. These two projects have an anticipated completion date of summer 2011.

In 2009, NFP was the recipient of an “Excellence in Design and Construction Coordination” award for its work on the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center project.
