Michigan State University broke ground in June of 2013 on the $60.8 million Bio Engineering Facility in East Lansing. The 130,000-sf interdisciplinary building will provide modular open-plan laboratories and offices for faculty from the colleges of Engineering, Human Medicine, and Natural Science. The Bio Engineering Facility will support collaborative research and development in areas such as nanotechnology, robotics, tissue engineering, and imaging, and will be physically connected to the existing Clinical Center C-Wing and Life Sciences B-Wing with proximity to the Radiology Building. The sustainably designed project is expected to use significantly less energy than a comparable conventional structure with decreased greenhouse gas emissions. The facility is scheduled to be completed by August 2015 with occupancy slated for the fall of 2015.
