The University of California, San Francisco has selected The SmithGroup and Jim Jennings Architecture to design the new Cardiovascular Research Building on its Mission Bay Campus. The 200,000-sf facility will house lab, office, and vivarium space and will connect to the planned Cancer Research Building designed by Rafael Vinoly Architects. Construction on the cardiovascular facility will begin in 2007 and reach completion in 2009. The project may cost approximately $100-million.
