DARTMOUTH, MASS. -

The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth broke ground on a new 22,000-sf research and laboratory facility in fall of 2005. Designed by ARC/Architectural Resources Cambridge, the two-story, $9-million project will be built as an extension to the Violette Building. The first floor has been designed with flexible, modular laboratories to accommodate chemistry, biology, psychology, engineering, and a vivarium. The second floor will house containment laboratories for research. A bridge will connect the second floor of the new building to the second floor of the existing Violette Building. The general contractor is Boston-based Suffolk Construction. The facility is expected to open in September of 2006.
