Dear BioCurious Community,
We are very excited to announce that BioCurious will be moving! This has been in discussion and the board has signed a new lease at 3060 Coronado Dr. Santa Clara. There are several advantages to the new space which is only one exit away(2.3 miles) from our previous location, includes nearly twice as much square footage, and extra office space.
We will need ALL your help to make sure this causes as little interruption as possible for the lab. The new space has amazing potential but will take a fair bit of elbow grease to get us ready to move in by the first week of April. Please signup for one or more of the project days and bring some friends to help, Meetup signups for all days will be up as we finalize dates:
March 4th Pulling Carpet: we need to pull up the old carpet. Please wear heavy shoes or boots and bring work gloves.
March 11th: Painting: the new space needs to be painted. Wear your grubby painting clothes and pitch in
March 18th work to fix floors
March 25th - 31st Packing day: Pre packing things to prep them for the move.
April 1st, 2nd MOVING DAY 1: wearing heavy boots and bring gloves. If you have a truck please let us know and bring it. We will be renting a moving van but the more vehicles the less back and forth we will have to do.
Apr 7th MOVING DAY 2: Same as above if necessary
April 7th to 14th Review and Fix issues at 845 Stewart Dr.
April 7th to 14th SETUP: Help us setup the lab and get the equipment into place
The newly expanded board of BioCurious is thankful in advance for all the support we know we will have. This is a community lab only made possible because of all of our amazing members, visitors, and volunteers.
We would like to encourage the community to make a donation towards moving costs. Upgrading the new location will be eating into a lot of BioCurious’s funds. We have alot more exciting announcements we are not quite ready to break the news on but please stay tuned. Please help us offset these costs with a one-time donation (or by becoming a member if you aren’t already), spread the word,

All the best,
BioCurious Board of Directors
