UC Riverside proudly announced the progress of its future medical school at a ceremony March 18 celebrating the completion of the research building. The $36 Million research facility boasts 58,000 square feet and has won the LEED Silver designation for its green design: it will use only a third the energy of a typical lab. But the real accomplishment of the new medical school will have less to do with its architecture and more to do with its purpose and vision.

Ohio State University's Medical Center is undergoing a huge expansion and modernization effort with its ProjectOne $1Billion new medical facility. Outdated buildings have been demolished and the concrete has been poured for the state-of-the-art Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute complex due to open in 2014. ProjectOne is the largest development project in Ohio State's history and is expected to add $1.7 billion to Ohio’s economy. Some of these gains will certainly include the purchasing of equipment, supplies and services for the medical center, as well as future gains through life science research funding and the commercialization of biomedical research discoveries.

Argonne National Lab and the University of Chicago are pooling their resources with the establishment of UC's new Institute for Molecular Engineering. Researchers at the Institute will explore ways of fabricating and manipulating nanoscale structures to develop new technologies. The germination of the Institute comes from years of molecular research in the basic sciences, both physical and biological, and the desire to craft solutions to real world problems from those scientific insights. The new partnership will benefit not only from the resources of both the National Lab and the University of Chicago, but from the interdisciplinary nature of the Institute's approach to scientific problems.
