The Research III building will be located between the Cancer Research Institute and Research II, on Walnut Street. The new building will be connected to both of these laboratory research buildings at each common floor level, to create a seamless flow from one building to another. The building will contain approximately 254,000 gross square feet. The building will be red brick, limestone and glass to be consistent and complementary with the current architecture on Walnut Street and throughout the research campus leading down Middle Drive.
The primary purpose of this facility is to house scientific discovery that can lead to innovative and life-saving therapies, especially in cancer treatment. The building is designed to promote collaboration among principal investigators and faculty researchers in multiple disciplines and to increase application of basic research to patient care, so called translational research. Programs located in this facility will include Cancer, Neuroscience and Immunobiology.
The building will incorporate research laboratories and laboratory support areas including instrumentation rooms, tissue culture rooms, and specialized testing rooms. The building will include a BSL3 Research Lab Suite, Vector Production Suite and a Cell Repository/DNA Serum Bank.
The building will also support administrative space with an auditorium and shared conferencing facilities. Eventually 90 new faculty members are expected to be recruited as a result of the construction of Research III.
