Michigan State University opened the $70 million Bio Engineering Facility in East Lansing in October of 2016. Supporting interdisciplinary biomedical research, the 130,000-sf building provides modular open labs and offices for faculty from the colleges of Engineering, Human Medicine, and Natural Science. Promoting collaboration with many other departments, including veterinary medicine, nursing, and osteopathy, the sustainably designed project is physically connected to both the Clinical Center and Life Sciences buildings to promote the sharing of core resources. The facility also houses the newly created Institute for Quantitative Health Science and Engineering, an interdisciplinary center devoted to basic and applied research in life sciences, engineering, information science, and mathematics. Ground was broken on the project in June of 2013.
