TekRidge Technology Incubator Building

Jessup, PA

Located in the Jessup Small Business Center Jessup, Pennsylvania, the building incorporates “smart green” technologies that will have a direct impact on utility costs and generate savings. The technologies range from system design impact for the HVAC, electrical, and plumbing as well as daylight harvesting strategies, abilities for views outward, occupancy monitors, and recyclable materials. The building design and construction utilizes a holistic approach to achieve an integrated group of systems.

The exterior of the facility is composed of elements that express the notion of technology as well as energy and sustainable efficiencies. The facades include expanses of curtain wall glazing and sunscreens to cut down on solar gain. The main entrance is an interruption of the glazing expanses with metal planes that reflect and express the type of work conducted inside.

The interior consists of a combination of high- and low-bay, open, flexible office space that can be adapted to the needs of any prospect tenant. The incubator incorporates a combination of variably-sized spaces that range from 350 SF to 800 SF. The area designated for the smaller tenants has its own main entrance separate from the larger tenants.

Other principle amenities incorporated are a café and loading dock. The café features seating areas for informal discussions and meetings as well as private meeting rooms that are adjacent to a “coffee serving” area with vending.
