'Investment in expanding this growing research sector will provide for significant economic impact for the state through increased innovation and competitiveness.'
Georgia Tech's Engineered Biosystems Building at 10th and State streets is part of the school's efforts to expand it biomedical research initiatives.
The building — five-stories and 200,000-square-feet when complete — is designed to allow for more partnerships between Tech and researchers at other Atlanta institutions including Emory University and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
"Investment in expanding this growing research sector will provide for significant economic impact for the state through increased innovation and competitiveness, as has been demonstrated at Georgia Tech in recent history," the school said in a report. "In the 10 years between 2000 and 2010, science and technology research expenditures at Georgia Tech have grown from just under $304 million per year to over $611 per year in Fiscal Year 2010."
