Super Science/Three New Research Building Materialize on U of A Campus

摘要

The University of Arizona in Tucson is going through a major expansion phase of its medical and scientific research facilities. Expansion of the Meinel Optical Sciences Building is nearing completion, as is the Roy P. Drachman Hall, which will provide academic space for the pharmacy, public health and nursing departments. At the same time, three capital improvement projects totaling more than 150 million dollars are poised to provide the school with even more scientific research and laboratory space. The 46.1 million dollars Chemistry Building will be wedged into an extremely tight space in the middle of the campus. The 65.7 million dollars Thomas W. Keating Bioresearch Building and the 54.4 million dollars Medical Research Building are challenging builders on the north side of campus with a project connecting two massive buildings under construction at the same time by two separate general contractors, right next door to another large-scale construction project.
