OFFICE OF RESEARCH OPERATIONS ADMINISTRATIONThe Drug Discovery and Bioengineering Buildings have been combined into a single construction project. Site preparation will begin in mid summer 2009 with substantial completion expected in late 2011. BIOENGINEERING BUILDINGThe Bioengineering Building (BEB) will be a 100,000 sf facility, located adjacent to the Drug Discovery Building.
Housed in the BEB will be the administrative offices of the South Carolina Bioengineering Alliance—an alliance of MUSC, USC and Clemson University that will coalesce state academic, clinical, business, and government resources to advance translational bioengineering research, development, education, and technology transfer with biomedical applications. The facility will also include classrooms, administrative offices for the College of Graduate Studies and an auditorium; wet and dry labs for cancer genomics research; lab space for Bioengineering—including research on or development of regenerative medicine/tissue engineering, biomaterials, devices, and computational biomolecular modeling and simulation. | |

RENDERINGS | |
 | The site plan for the Drug Discovery Building (DDB) and the Bioengineering Building (BEB) shows the connectivity of the two buildings at the first floor level. The shared loading dock is just north of the glass two-story connecting link. BEB's classrooms, auditorium and cancer genomics lab space are shaded in blue. The yellow area represents circulation space adjacent to the conference areas and connects to DDB's circulation space and 300-seat auditorium. Large green spaces to the south of DDB are shown. Eventually, the remainder of G-lot will be developed into the north garden. |
 BEB and DDB viewed from the corner of President and Jonathan Lucas Streets. Note the 2nd floor glass connecting link between BEB and DDB, the banks of offices along the south sides of both buildings and the prominent conference room tower feature on the southeast corner of DDB. |
