University of Texas at El Paso Designs Interdisciplinary Research Building

The University of Texas at El Paso is planning to break ground in early 2017 on the $85 million Interdisciplinary Research Building. Designed by Perkins+Will, the 150,000-gsf project will feature collaborative research labs, a vivarium, imaging suites, core labs, a visualization suite, conference rooms, an atrium, an auditorium, and academic and administrative offices. Providing approximately 90,430 asf, the sustainably designed facility will put science on display for maximum visibility, and will be built to enable ease of reconfiguration to accommodate changing research programs.
