Precision Structural Steel for Advanced Clinical and Laboratory Spaces

The Altman Clinical & Translational Research Institute provides an environment in which researchers can obtain the education, resources, and collaborations necessary to translate discoveries into practice. This multidisciplinary facility brings together laboratory scientists and clinical investigators to understand dis-ease, develop new methods of treatment, and translate clinical research results into clinical practice. The dry bench research space includes computing spaces, exam and interview rooms for human subjects participating in clinical trials, staff and faculty offices, and other specialty spaces. The wet bench laboratory space includes equipment space, tissue culture, specialized rooms, and core facilities. Due to SME expertise, ingenuity, and superior craftsmanship, this project was completed on time and within budget. LEED Gold accreditation.
