International Institute for Nano and Molecular Medicine, University of Missouri - Columbia

Project:
International Institute for Nano and Molecular Medicine, University of Missouri - Columbia

Project Type:
New Construction

Description:
The International Institute for Nano and Molecular Medicine uses a specialized type of synthetic organic medicinal chemistry that falls outside the mainstream of biomedical research conducted on the University of Missouri Campus. The Science and Research Design Group was tasked with providing a sophisticated facility solution within an extremely accelerated timeframe. Designed in part for world-renowned scientist M. Frederick Hawthorne, researchers in the facility are involved in a hazardous type of research that involves the use of Class 1A chemicals and solvents; agents with an inherent risk of fire/explosion. To minimize such risks and increase safety, the design incorporates full containment chemical fume hoods and system accomodations. This Institute advances the University of Missouri’s national leadership in nanomedicine and cancer research while providing break-through technology and medical solutions to the world.
