The Collaborative Life Science Building & Skourtes Tower is a unique project opening in June 2014 to bring together Oregon Health & Science University, Oregon State University and Portland State University in one location to benefit all of Oregon.
The entire 650,000-square-foot complex on Portland’s South Waterfront consists of two parts, including the 12-story Skourtes Tower on the North and a five-story South wing connected by an atrium, along with underground parking. The building includes lecture halls, classroom labs, specialty research centers, a state-of-the-art facility for Oregon Health & Science University School of Dentistry, and offices for health professionals and educators from multiple institutions.
Some details of the facility are as follows:
The Collaborative Life Science Building & Skourtes Tower was funded from multiple funding sources. The funds came from:
This project costs a total of $295 million and will leverage sources of multiple universities to offer the best life science education and research opportunities for students and Oregon researchers. This facility will also strengthen partnerships between the universities while expanding their teaching facilities, class sizes, and research activities.
It provides an opportunity for Biotechnology researchers from different health care professions to share spaces, learn alongside each other, and work collaboratively through a variety of research programs. Every aspect of the design of the building is to encourage human interaction and collaboration to face collective challenges and opportunities in the rapidly changing bioscience field.
The key to bioscience is research, and Oregon is blessed with a variety of public universities such as Oregon Health & Science University, University of Oregon, and Oregon State University, as well as other private research institutions.
