Baltimore BioPark

Baltimore, Maryland - Connect Labs, 4 N. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., 3rd Floor, Baltimore, MD 21201 (UM BioPark leasing office: 801 W. Baltimore St., Baltimore, MD 21201)

Part of University of Maryland, Baltimore (Connect Labs operated as a joint venture with Wexford Science & Technology)

About

The UM BioPark is a 50+ company life science campus adjoining the University of Maryland, Baltimore academic health center, and its startup-facing product is Connect Labs — roughly 35,000 SF of pre-built, turnkey wet lab and office space on the 3rd floor of the new 4MLK tower, where you can license anything from a single bench or hot desk up to an X-Large private lab. Uniquely for a university park, it sells short 6–24 month license agreements rather than multi-year leases, so founders can scale in place into much larger custom lab, office, or manufacturing-capable floors elsewhere in the BioPark without relocating. On-site neighbors include Illumina, Pharmaron and Catalent Cell & Gene Therapy, plus direct access to UMB core facilities and regional CROs.
