The University of Missouri and Whiting-Turner are going boldly into the future of medical research with the 265,000-square-foot Roy Blunt NextGen Precision Health Building. The signature research facility is designed to enhance the academic experience while attracting world-renowned researchers and industry partners. The University of Missouri (MU) envisioned a center for practicing precision medicine and conducting advanced medical research. MU needed a firm with extensive architecture experience to complete the job under a tight project schedule and brought on our team to provide architectural services.
The new complex is poised to elevate MU’s cancer, vascular and neurological research on a national and global scale with the creation of advanced patient-specific treatments. Completed in 28 months, it’s projected the medical research facility will cement Missouri’s standing as a leader in biomedical research and have a $5.6 billion impact on the state’s economy over the next 25 years.
