National Cancer Institute (NCI) from 10.4 acres to 12.52 acres, and allows for the construction of a 69,000-square-foot medical laboratory on approximately 2.12 acres of the 12.52-acre Site. The 2.12-acre portion of the Site is improved with an existing surface parking lot adjacent to the existing parking deck. The proposal includes removing the existing sidewalk that abuts the Academic & Research Building and Gilchrist Hall; and adding a new street (Private Road B-8) that connects to Blackwell Road from the main campus roundabout. The road improvements include extending Blackwell Road past the intersection with Private Road B-8, to construct a hammerhead turnaround that does not interfere with operations at the new intersection. The proposed building is 62 feet high and will set back 60 feet from Blackwell Road. Significant landscape will be provided around the loading dock at the corner of Private Road B-8, Blackwell Road, and at the main internal roundabout. The architectural materials on the exterior siding will consist of precast concrete, metal panel screen wall (on roof), composite metal panel and an aluminum window system.
