President John T. Casteen III (left) was
one of many who participated in Friday’s
groundbreaking for a new medical science
building. Devoted to research on infectious
diseases, immunology, vaccine therapy,
cancer and other areas of biomedicine,
the $70.7 million, 102,000-square-foot
facility will be named the Carter-Harrison
Research Building to honor two families
who have provided generous support for
the project. “By enabling us to expand
our programs in science and biomedicine,
the Carter-Harrison Research Building will
address one of the University's highest
priorities,” said Casteen. Full
