Palo Alto, Calif.
Stanford University plans to break ground on a new 225,000-sf biotech facility, the Clark Center for Biomedical Engineering and Science. The new $130 million building will house a biotech research program dubbed Bio X which will combine researchers and scientists from over 20 departments, including medicine, engineering, science, and various biotech and computer subspecialties. Funded by donations from Silicon Graphics for the $10 million core facilities and supercomputer, as well as funding from an anonymous donor, the facility will feature an interdisciplinary design. Clark Center is slated to open in 2003.
