New York
The International Aids Vaccine Initiative (IAVI) opened its 36,000-sf Vaccine Design and Development Laboratory in New York City in November of 2008. Located in Brooklyn, the translational research project will anchor a planned 500,000-sf bioscience industry complex in the redeveloped Brooklyn Army Terminal. IAVI’s Design Lab will support AIDS vaccine research and is affiliated with the State University of New York (SUNY) Downstate Medical Center. The $17 million lab is designed to foster industry and academic collaboration and will accommodate 40 researchers. IAVI is also planning to build an animal research facility at the site.
