Construction Zone!

Cranes, girders and heavy equipment are the order of the day on the University of Michigan medical campus as major construction projects bring a 21st century look and significantly updated capabilities to clinical and research activities at the U-M Health System.

Biomedical Sciences Research Building

The Biomedical Sciences Research Building, scheduled for completion in late 2005, and the Cardiovascular Center, to be completed in fall 2006 on the site of Old Main Hospital, are pictured here as they appeared in early December 2004.

Cardiovascular Center

Nearby, an addition to the School of Public Health is well underway, and across Huron Street from the rising BSRB, the U-M Life Sciences Institute, completed in 2003, provides additional cross-disciplinary research space. The U-M Depression Center, to be constructed near the East Ann Arbor Health Center, is slated for completion in 2006, and an expansion of Kellogg Eye Center is also planned.
