Columbus, Ohio
Ohio State University (OSU) is constructing the $151-million Biomedical Research Tower on its Columbus campus. The 400,000-sf, 14-story building will be the largest research facility on campus with 180,000 sf of laboratory space. Slated for completion in late fall of 2006, the tower will house labs for biomedical research, core labs for shared use, faculty and administrative offices, a 250-seat auditorium, seminar rooms, and a cafe. The tower is part of the OSU Academic Medical Center and will connect via a bridge to the Davis Heart and Lung Research Institute and via an underground tunnel to the OSU Tzagourmis Research Facility.
