The Florida Institute of Technology will begin construction this spring on a new $18 million biomedical research facility.
The 61,000-square-foot Health Sciences Research Center will include 20,000 square feet of new classroom and training space and feature state-of-the-art technologies for advanced research into orthopedics, tissue engineering and computational simulations.
The additional space will allow the university to dramatically expand its biomedical engineering and premedical programs, both of which will be housed in the new facility on its expected completion in 2022.
