National University of Ireland Builds Galway Translational Research Facility

The National University of Ireland, Galway has begun construction on the $27 million Clinical Research Facility and Translational Research Facility (CRF-TRF). The four-story, 57,000-gsf project is located on the grounds of University Hospital Galway to support collaborative research and patient care. The ground and first floors will house the Health Research Board (HRB) Clinical Research Facility which will include an area for the study of regenerative medicine. Located on the second and third floors of the building, the Translational Research Facility will feature open, flexible laboratories and will physically connect to the NUI Galway's Clinical Science Institute. The project is being built by BAM Construction and completion is expected in early 2015.
