ABC1 opens

In an unprecedented partnership, UA and ASU researchers are sharing the newest of buildings to open on the Phoenix Biomedical Campus. The four-story ABC1 building opened in July and will be dedicated Oct.15. (See earlier post, A New Vocabulary, if you don't know what ABC1 stands for)

It houses ASU bioinformatics faculty on the first two floors and UA medical researchers on the wet-lab space on the top two floors. Some COM-Phoenix faculty who had been situated in Building 3 on the campus moved offices into the ABC1 building as well.

On a brief tour of the shiny new building last month, visitors from the College of Pharmacy had a variety of responses to the colors and sleek furnishings they saw: the ‘70s retro look is either “cool,” “bold” or “ugly,” depending on whom you ask!
