UMass Medical School opened the $20 million Massachusetts Facility for High-Resolution Cryo-Electron Microscopy in October of 2016 in Worcester. Featuring a 2,000-sf microscopy suite housing two cryo-EM systems, the $5 million Titan Krios and the $4 million Talos-Arctica, the 4,100-sf laboratory will provide academic investigators and industry partners with advanced imaging capabilities for biomedical and pharmaceutical research. Designed by TRO Architects to provide robust acoustic, vibration, and climate controls, the facility includes offices, a computational suite, a sample prep lab, a mechanical room, and space for future instrumentation. The project was supported by funding from the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and UMass Medical School invested $3 million in renovations to accommodate the facility. The construction manager was Consigli Construction.
