NIH Builds Three New Facilities

National Institutes of Health has three major projects under construction. The Mark O. Hatfield Clinical Research Center is a $360 million, 600,000-gsf replacement hospital plus an additional 850,000 sf of research labs. The Washington office of Portland, Ore.-based Zimmer Gunsul Frasca designed the "clinical research model" building, with labs close to patient care units. Completion is anticipated in December 2002. The Dale and Betty Bumpers Vaccine Research Center, a $32 million, 84,900-gsf facility for AIDs research, is scheduled for completion in August 2000. Spaulding & Slye Colliers is managing the building's overall development process, as well as design and budgeting. The Louis Stokes Laboratories will replace three NIH buildings with a six-story, $93 million, 290,000-gsf facility focussing on intramural research in structural biology. Completion is planned for December 2000.
