The University of Florida broke ground in December of 2020 on the $150 million Malachowsky Hall for Data Science & Information Technology in Gainesville. Designed by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, the 263,000-sf facility will be a dynamic research hub for the application of computing, communication, and cyber technologies to a broad spectrum of areas including health care, pharmacology, security, and fundamental science. The interdisciplinary building will provide space for the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering, the College of Medicine, the College of Pharmacy, and the Informatics Institute, as well as accommodating the OneFlorida Minority Education Program in Implementation Science. The eight-story structure will house engineering labs, teaching labs, classrooms, offices, meeting rooms, collaboration venues, and the headquarters of the State of Florida’s Consortium for Medical Marijuana Clinical Outcomes Research. Ajax Building Corporation is the construction manager for the project, which is slated for completion in spring of 2023.
