<p>Casually mentioned in this Maroon article was the fact that UChicago plans 6 new biomedical buildings that will add 3 million square feet of research space--part of the University's big push to strengthen biomedical research:</p>

<p>"The Center, planned to open in February, is the first of six new buildings to be constructed collectively in five phases, ultimately resulting in a complex of over three million square feet of new medical space for the U of C Medical Center. The Center is the architect’s second project for the University—Viñoly designed the Charles M. Harper Center for the Booth School of Business in 2004."</p>
