The five-level office and research lab facility will be shared by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ist.ucf.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Institute for Simulation &amp; Training<\/a> (IST), other UCF departments and components of the defense community.<\/p>\n<p>IST will coordinate construction of the $20 million building. Funding is provided from state sources.<\/p>\n<p>Originally cut from Florida&#8217;s 2007 budget, funding for the building was committed in 2008, just ahead of the economic downturn. Driving motivation for the partnership series is to help sustain Orlando as a hub for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/modeling-simulation\/\">simulation research and industry development<\/a>. The Partnership facilities help maintain a significant DoD presence, which, in turn, contributes to the local economy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The new building and the three other joint-use research park buildings whose renovation or construction IST has supervised are models of cooperation that have helped simulation R &amp; D stay strong in Central Florida,&#8221; said IST Director Randall Shumaker.<\/p>\n<p>IST Associate Director for External Development Mark Yerkes manages the project for UCF. He also was in charge of Partnership II construction in 2003-2004. Yerkes said new construction will benefit considerably from reuse of the former building&#8217;s designs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;P-III is basically a mirror image of P-II,&#8221; said Yerkes. &#8220;That saved a lot of time and several millions in architectural design costs, allowing us to add energy efficiency improvements to qualify for an environmentally friendly &#8216;LEED Silver&#8217; designation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>LEED is an internationally recognized certification system that verifies a building project is environmentally responsible, profitable and a healthy place to work.<\/p>\n<p>When construction is completed (target: summer of 2010) IST will consolidate its labs and offices into the lower floors of both P-II and P-III.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Contractors began site clearing for the third in the series of UCF buildings in the Central Florida Research Park dedicated to partnerships among UCF and the Department of Defense.
