Bioscience in Colorado:
The first "Colorado Bioscience Roadmap" was published in 2003 and clearly reflected Colorado's commitment to making biosciences a key driver of the state’s future economy. The following is taken from the 2008 update to this plan:
"The public and private sectors cooperated in developing Colorado’s Place in the Sun:
An Action Plan to Grow Colorado’s Bioscience Cluster. The Plan proposed a series of strategies and actions designed to distinguish Colorado as a preeminent life science health care center and home to a vibrant cluster of bioscience companies."
"Five years later, Colorado has progressed significantly in positioning the biosciences as a key driver of the state’s economy. But, while Colorado has been investing in its bioscience sector and the infrastructure to support it, the national and global bioscience landscape has evolved, and states and regions across the United States are advancing bold initiatives to capture both the economic and social benefits of new bioscience discoveries – discoveries that are increasingly finding their way into new applications and products leading to new medical treatments, new sources of energy, and new industrial products made out of biomaterials."
CBS and Colorado Medical and Bioscience
CBS is committed to supporting Colorado's Action Plan for a preeminent Rocky Mountain Region Bioscience Cluster by providing construction services focusing on Medical Pharmaceutical, and Bioscience Services. These services include installing cGxp utilities, construction of laboratory environments, operating room facilities, wet and dry labs, and validatable clean rooms up to ISO 5 standards from conception to validation.
CBS is an active member in the Colorado Medical and Bioscience field including medical and bioscience construction projects and membership in the Colorado BioScience Association.
