Rutgers University broke ground on the $150 million Stem Cell Institute of New Jersey in New Brunswick on October 23, 2007. Slated for completion in 2010, the Institute is a joint venture between the University, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, and the State of New Jersey. Supporting basic and translational research, clinical trials, and outpatient treatment, the 160,000-sf center will be located on five floors in an 18-story tower adjacent to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and across from the Cancer Institute of New Jersey. The Institute will include three floors of research labs, 24 lab modules, a 15,000-sf imaging core, office and conference space, and a corridor connecting to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital.
