The University of Texas is constructing a three-building biomedical complex in Houston. The three facilities total approximately 400,000 sf and have a construction cost of $161.5 million. The $90 million UT Dental Branch facility is slated for completion in 2010. The $23 million Neuroscience Building will be completed in 2009. The $41 million Biomedical Research and Education Facility, also slated for completion in 2009, will promote translational research by exploring the intersection of engineering and medicine. The three projects broke ground in August of 2007.
