Oakland, Calif.
Children’s Hospital and Research Center at Oakland began construction in May on the $6-million Center for Immunobiology and Vaccine Development. Housed in a reconfigured portion of the existing research center, the 9,900-sf facility will bring together different immunobiology and infectious disease research programs and develop vaccines to prevent them. Slated for completion in December, the new center will house several interactive laboratories, specialized, shared facilities including a BSL-3 facility, and office space. Completion is expected in December 2004.
