Biodesign Building B
The architectural elements of the Biodesign Institute reinforce the idea that science brings illumination, discovery and connection to our future. Within Biodesign Building B, the use of transparent materials represents what is possible, while the use of brick connects the institute to the existing history of Arizona State University. The innovative architectural design of this structure supports the advanced research being conducted at his location and reinforces the Biodesign Institute’s mission of integrating, connecting and accelerating scientific study. The environmentally friendly aspects of the institute’s facility have earned it numerous awards, including 2006 Lab of the Year by R&D Magazine.

Biodesign Building C
The architectural elements of the Biodesign Building C, along with the technical capabilities, energy efficiency and the project delivery have earned it numerous prestigious awards. The iconic copper skin protects the inner thermal wall from the sun, and the mechanical system uses water to maintain the temperature in the space. Designed as a workhorse research building, Biodesign C was built larger than originally planned by managing the total project costs comprehensively, which allowed a great portion of the total project budget to be allocated to building a larger and more space-efficient research building.

ISTB5 DataISTB7
Interdisciplinary Science and Technology Building 7 will be the newest, and one of the largest, research buildings on the ASU Tempe campus. This triangular building will have a courtyard in the center, often referred to as the e-lab. The north wing will be primarily 50,000 square feet of wet lab research and research high bay over five floors, targeting about 55 research groups. The building will also have a 350-seat conference center/auditorium and university classrooms. ISTB7 will be home to the Global Futures Laboratory, Global Institute of Sustainability, Institute of Human Origins, ASU LightWorks, the Center for Negative Carbon Emissions and other research groups with the theme of food, energy and water.
The close proximity to a major traffic intersection, and the light rail, and the fact that the building will not have a basement, means that research spaces will not accommodate heavy chemistry, clean rooms, or extreme vibration sensitivity. The research space, a further evolution on the Biodesign C research neighborhood lab concept, will be great space for most of the types of research performed at the Biodesign Institute, as well as life sciences, engineering and other research requiring high-quality general research labs. The target, once fully occupied, is about $15 million in annual research expenditures.

MacroTechnology Works
MacroTechnology Works, located at the ASU Research Park, provides ASU with the ability to advance research in partnership with private industry and to provide advisory, consulting and technical assistance services to businesses. This facility was first constructed and used by Motorola in 1997 for the semiconductor industry. It has clean rooms, wet labs, dry labs, high bay space and office accommodations. In addition to ASU research facilities, the MacroTechnology Works site also houses private industry partners that collaborate with the university.

MacroTechnology Works DataHealth Futures Center
This will be the first building of several on the new ASU Health Futures Campus in north Phoenix. With about 80,000 net square feet of space adjacent to Mayo Clinic Hospital, the building will include collaboration space for Mayo Clinic, a 300-seat conference center, classrooms of a variety of sizes, a teaching kitchen, a wellness/movement studio and a clinical space with consultation rooms and about 15,000 square feet of predominately wet lab space — enough to accommodate about 16 principal investigator groups. The facility will be a home for researchers from ASU’s College of Health solutions and School of Life Sciences. Space has been set aside for an MRI, which can be funded in the future from research grants.
The research expenditure potential for this building is in the range of $3.3 – 4.4 million annually, once fully occupied.

ISTB8
This project is being delivered as a public-private partnership with the developer Wexford, as part of their planned Phoenix Biomedical Campus. ASU has committed to lease 50% of the leasable space in the building, or about 112,000 square feet. The building will include:
- Basement — ASU core facilities.
- First floor — Entrepreneurship and Innovation space.
- Second floor — translational clinic type space and conference rooms.
- Third and fourth floors — wet lab and wet lab support rooms, PI offices, and write-up space.
The research space will accommodate about 36 research groups, with some additional research group space on the second floor, which includes consultation rooms and an exercise space in addition to a small food preparation area in connection with the clinic space. This building is considered ideal for health-related research due to its proximity with Banner, University of Arizona, TGen and a diverse population. Also, this site is ideally suited to house ASU researchers’ start-up companies. The research potential for this building is $9 – 12 million in annual research expenditures.
