The building is nine stories high on one side and five on the other, in order to blend in with the abutting row houses, Randi Konikoff-Beranbaum, a spokesperson for the university tells GlobeSt.com. She points out that the center is the only one like it in the world, noting that it is the center's belief that a strong nutrition focus combined with medical research "is the essence of understanding the diseases we're looking at."
The $65-million project, which took about two years to build, is the cornerstone of the university's expansion of its Health Sciences campus. According to a release the campus will ultimately involve over 650,000 sf.
