Tucson, Ariz.
The University of Arizona has dedicated its new $48-million BIO5 Institute on its Tucson campus. Gilbane Building Company was construction manager for the 180,000-sf facility specifically designed for cross-disciplinary teams in the field of molecular life science. Gilbane's western regional office oversaw the project. The BIO5 Institute shares a block-wide development with the Medical Research Building, both designed by the Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Partnership. The two facilities are interconnected above and partially below grade and will share an underground vivarium. Providing 22,000 sf of administrative/education space for 20 faculty members in five local areas of excellence, the facility houses five labs, including BSL-3 laboratories.
