University of California, San Diego
Completion of the Powell-Focht Bioengineering Hall is the first step in accommodating the growth and new vision of the Jacobs School of Engineering on the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) campus. By 2005, the Jacobs School plans to add seven new bioengineering faculty, bringing total faculty to 18, and increase enrollment up to 1,000 students.

Lower Churn Costs and Culture Change Among Expected Benefits
In July 2004, ChevronTexaco (CVX) will begin the phased occupancy of a new 40-story office tower in downtown Houston. Originally built for Enron but never occupied, the 1.2-million sf building will accommodate 3,700 employees and contractors once occupancy is complete in mid-2005, consolidating CVX's Houston-area operations from seven buildings to three.

Yale University
As part of a $500 million investment in Yale's School of Medicine, the new $176-million Anlyan Center offers more than 430,000 gsf of flexible laboratory, research, support, and office space for its biomedical research and teaching. Also known as 300 Cedar St., the new building features two wings reflecting its dual commitment to research and teaching, and is the largest building ever constructed at the School of Medicine.

Model Focuses on Occupant Density and Revenue Per Workstation
With just four basic components, a carefully crafted space planning model has allowed Yale University's School of Medicine (YSM) to lay out generic labs to accommodate almost 700 scientists in the new $177-million, 445,000-sf Anlyan Center for Medical Research and Education.

Lab Viewed as Ideal Prototype for Future Projects
The history of Millennium Pharmaceuticals Inc. goes back to 1993 when the company was founded in a 3,000-sf facility in Cambridge, Mass. Although the company's history spans just more than a decade, it is chockfull of impressive achievements.
