The University at Buffalo opened the $375 million Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in December of 2017 on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. Designed by HOK, the collaborative 628,000-sf complex offers active learning environments, a surgical robotics center, simulation training suites, a gross anatomy lab, administrative and departmental offices, and 150,000 sf of flexible, multidisciplinary laboratories. LEED Gold sustainable design certification will be sought for the project, which features a seven-story atrium, a glass curtainwall, a high-performance façade, and a terracotta rain screen. General contractor LPCiminelli broke ground on the facility in October of 2013.
