The University of Arizona and city of Phoenix announced plans today for a $136-million research building that will be the tallest to date on the downtown Phoenix Biomedical Campus.
The 10-story building is planned for Seventh and Fillmore streets, just south of where the university is also constructing a cancer center. The new 245,000-square-foot building is being funded through bonds paid for largely with state-lottery money.
UA President Ann Weaver Hart said the project, called the Biosciences Partnership Building, will help the university move forward in the biomedical sciences.
