Celebration signals ‘new era for medical science’
New building houses one of the world’s highest concentrations of neuroscientists
Launching a new era of progress
The state-of-the-art facility will initially house approximately 100 teams comprising 875 researchers, including experts in neurology, neuroscience, neurosurgery, psychiatry, and anesthesiology.
Partnering with St. Louis–based uFab, the Neurotech Hub can meet the need for bespoke neuroscience technology in house.
Facility on track to achieve LEED Gold certification
“We are all doing important work.”
The Neuroscience Research Building’s 11 stories have been framed and siding installation has begun.
The Department of Neuroscience is among those preparing to move into the start-of-the-art facility in 2023.
