A six-story concrete and steel structure that is the skeleton of an energy-efficient research building under construction on the School of Medicine campus has been completed. Exterior stone panels are being affixed, and workers are installing mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems. Metal studs also are being installed inside the structure, giving shape to future laboratories. The $81 million building along McKinley Avenue, just west of Taylor Avenue, will house 138,000 square feet of flexible, open labs. The construction project, which began in summer 2013, has a June 2015 target date for completion. Researchers slated to work in the building include those in genetics, genomics, internal medicine, cellular imaging, radiology and developmental biology.
