| New
research space is critical to the Keck Schools plans
to become a top 10 medical school. Outlined in the Keck Schools
strategic plan, the School is now in the process of building
four new research facilities totaling 585,000 square feet.
Facilities include a neurogenetic institute, a cancer research
tower, a heart and transplantation biology institute, a general
biomedical science building, and, adjacent to the Health Sciences
Campus, a biomedical research park.
A parallel effort calls for the replacement of outdated labs
and research facilities with state-of-the-art research buildings.
Combined, these endeavors will create more than 1 million
square feet of new research space, while increasing and modernizing
classroom spaces. |
