About the Project
The Medical Science Unit I building was originally constructed in 1958 and contains approximately 299,000 gross square feet of administrative and wet lab research space. This project will renovate and repurpose approximately 60,000 gross square feet in the B and D wings on levels 3, 4, and 5 for the Medical School’s Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics department and several other Medical School units. The renovation will convert obsolete wet lab research space into an efficient and collaborative dry and computational research environment.
This project will also support the university’s carbon neutrality goal through interior and exterior design and construction features, including new energy-efficient HVAC equipment, lighting, and control systems. It will also include thermally insulated and tripleglazed windows, maximum insulation of roof and exterior walls, and include new electric power and telecommunication systems. The renovation will address deferred maintenance in both wings, including, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, electrical, life safety system upgrades, exterior envelope, code-related items, and provide accessibility and new finishes throughout.
