Memphis, Tenn.
The University of Tennessee is developing the UT-Baptist Research Park in Memphis, Tenn. The 10-acre campus will consist of 1.2 million sf of bioscience laboratory, education, research, and incubator space. Baptist Memorial Health Care donated its property in the Memphis Medical District to create the campus. A 924,000-sf building will be imploded to enable new construction to begin in the second quarter of 2006. The project will be built in six phases over ten years. The first two-building phase will consist of a Regional Biocontainment Laboratory with BSL-2 and BSL-3 suites and a vivarium, and a new School of Pharmacy to be built at the UT Health Science Center located adjacent to the new research park.
