ANN ARBOR, MI-The University of Michigan is planning to build a new $220-million biomedicalresearch building for the college’s medical school. Regents will be asked to approve the building, and $9.2 million for excavation of the site and relocation costs, at a meeting Thursday.

The building architect is Polshek Partnership Architects of New York, NY. The 470,000-sf facility will house U of M Medical School faculty and scientists in a flexible environment, in which an architectural integrity fosters project collaboration and intellectual innovation, according to school officials.

For example, space is being planned around scientific themes rather than the traditional department model so that faculty working on similar projects will be encouraged by proximity to collaborate and innovate, says Allen Lichter, dean of the medical school.
