LERNER RESEARCH INSTITUTE
HEAPY is currently providing MEP engineering design, in partnership with Vanderweil Engineers for two new research towers (CBA and CBB) at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute, a facility poised at the forefront of scientific research and discovery. The facility supports the Clinic’s strengths, with scientists investigating novel biological pathways, markers of disease, developing new medical devices, diagnostics and therapies related to cancer, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, brain and eye diseases, diseases of the immune system, and emerging pathogens. Central utilities will be apart of the two new towers.
The new research towers, together with existing district research space, will create a dynamic and integrated research enterprise aligned with principles of wellness and scientific collaboration. The buildings will be connected and integrated with the existing John Sherwin Health Science building (NC) through a bridge connect at level NC4/new building level 3. A bridge to connect CBB with CBA and NC is also planned, with potential connection to NA at level NA4 possible in the future, providing more Innovation District integration.

Tower CBA will include animal research, gnotobiotics, core labs, infectious disease labs, wet research labs, support and ancillary spaces, and public and shared spaces. The tower will place new emphasis on wet research, with bsl-3/absl-3 core facility, supporting growth in infection biology. The tower also includes an expansion to the main vivarium, and co-located gnotobiotic and bsl3 core labs.
Tower CBB will include computational/data science, computer services, flow cytometry, an expanded genome center, flexible GMP core with five independent process labs, imaging core labs, quantum computing, computational dry research space, wet research labs, as well as an auditorium (200 people max), public shared spaces, and building support spaces. The tower consists of stacked research neighborhoods with workspace facing a common atrium, featuring natural light and outside views, optimizing sharing of space and equipment.
