University of Washington Develops Medical Research Center

Published 9/3/2003

The University of Washington is renovating the 105,00-sf Blue Flame Building in the South Lake Union neighborhood of Seattle as the future home of UW Medicine Lake Union. Vulcan Inc. is the design and construction planner for the project, which is slated to begin in January and reach completion in November 2004. The building will house cancer research, the Program for Translational Medicine in Women's Health, and the Center for Cardiovascular Biology. UW Medicine may expand at a later date into 300,000-sf on the same block, and into an adjacent block providing an additional 400,000-sf, for a total footprint of more than 800,000-sf.
