The design for the $68-million, 200,000-sq-ft Emory University Health Sciences Research Building consists of three functional components: a wet-bench laboratory building; a tower containing public functions and computational research space; and an enclosed, occupied bridge that connects the new facility to clinical and research operations on Emory's medical campus.
The new building will house a clinical trial center for a major vaccine and therapeutic evaluation unit, an epidemiology/outcomes research center, a clinical immunology core laboratory, science laboratories and programs in neuroscience, genetics, predictive health, cellular therapies and regenerative medicine and drug discovery.
