University of Minnesota leaders presented the Board of Regents with a new, scaled-back plan for the University of Minnesota’s $292 million Biomedical Discovery District on Thursday.
Rather than housing cancer, cardiovascular and infectious disease research into three separate buildings as originally proposed, the plan would create a single, $200.3 million facility for all of them.
The plan would save $38.5 million, money that would be directed toward renovations of existing laboratory space.“When this program was envisioned in 2008, none of us thought the world economy would turn as south as it did,” Pfutzenreuter said.
