May 9, 2008

The San Diego Consortium for Regenerative Medicine has chosen local firm Lankford & Associates to build a new $115 million stem cell research facility, the San Diego Business Journal reports. The consortium--comprised of the University of California San Diego, the Burnham Institute for Medical Research, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and The Scripps Research Institute--just won a $43 million grant from the California Instate for Regenerative Medicine as part of the organization's plan to assist in the funding of a bevy of new stem cell research facilities across California. Lankford will work in partnership with Phelps Development on the new 135,000-square-foot facility, which will occupy nearly 8 acres adjacent to the Salk Institute and UCSD.
