A new 245,000-square-foot research building being constructed by DPR Construction and Sundt, a joint venture, in downtown Phoenix is expected to lead to groundbreaking discoveries with a direct impact on human health. That was the exciting buzz at the groundbreaking ceremony held last week for the 10-story Biosciences Partnership Building. The state-of-the-art facility is situated on the Phoenix Biomedical Campus, just north of the Health Sciences Education Building, which was also constructed by the DPR • Sundt team.
