C4 Architecture of Orlando is the architect of record. Kirk McKinnon, who represents the lead contractor, HKM General Contractor in Sanford, Florida, filled us in with some of the project details. According to Orlando city officials, Antech Diagnostic will invest around $1.35 million in construction and lab equipment costs for building out the new reference laboratory. The City of Orlando and the State of Florida, both hit hard by the economic recession that started in 2008, were eager to contribute $135,000 in tax refunds to help secure the facility. The new Antech Diagnostics laboratory would also reportedly bring about 45 new high wage jobs to the region they selected, so competition among cities for the new laboratory was keen. Partnership with Orlando and the State of Florida With over 45,000 laboratory samples in transit each day, Antech also knew that rapid transportation was a critical factor in site selection - proximity to a major airport was key. Thanks to Antech’s rapid growth, they needed to find a new location where they could build out a new laboratory ‘hub’ - to better serve the Southeast region, and in particular the state of Florida.
