The first major project of the $1.3 billion expansion of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital campus in Memphis, Tenn., is the $412 million advanced research center (ARC, $342 million construction cost) — an eight-story, 625,000 sq. ft. concrete building being constructed by Flintco LLC with an April 2021 completion date. Designed by The Crump Firm, lead architect on the project, and Jacobs Engineering, experts in lab design, the goal is to create “an interactive hub of exploration and discovery that will cultivate transformative research and collaboration, as well as attracting scientists and clinicians to St. Jude,” according to hospital communications staff. The facility, which has the capacity for 1,000 positions, will include modern labs focusing on immunology, neurobiology, cell and molecular biology, gene editing, metabolomics, advanced microscopy, epigenetics, genomics, immunotherapy and RNA biology. The space also will contain a biorepository and collaborative spaces to facilitate interaction among researchers. Six floors are dedicated to research, with the remaining two set aside for future expansion and evolving technologies. The new building will double the hospital’s research space, permitting St. Jude to free up space in the Donald P. Pinkel MD Research Tower and Danny Thomas Research Center. The overall expansion is being financed by donations from American and international supporters of St. Jude. “The [ARC] will bring together a powerful combination of talent and technology CEG CORRESPONDENT
