Located at Seventh Avenue South between 19th and 20^th streets at the former site of the Kracke Building and Pittman Center for Advanced Medical Studies, the project is funded through dollars from the state of Alabama, Jefferson County, and UAB donors Altec/Styslinger Foundation and Marnix and Mary Heersink. The 175,000-square-foot building will bring together researchers, equipment and staff for the Hugh Kaul Precision Medicine Institute, the Informatics Institute and translational scientists from many different disciplines and involves a renovation of the existing Lyons-Harrison Research Building. It will include space for computational research, research support, offices, administrative and scientific collaboration, and meeting spaces designed to meet the specific needs of genomics and precision medicine investigators and their programs. UAB broke ground on the project in April 2022, and construction is expected to be completed in spring 2024.
