Arizona's quest to become a biotech research powerhouse will take a big step forward next week when construction begins on a long-awaited biosciences building in downtown Phoenix.

The $29.4 million Arizona Biomedical Collaborative building, which will house research labs and equipment, has been on the drawing board for more than three years. It is a joint effort by the University of Arizona and Arizona State University, which also are collaborating on a nearby medical school.

Faculty associated with the medical college will be housed at the ABC building, said Jaime Molera, a consultant for the Arizona Board of Regents, which operates the state's three universities. advertisement

"What's going to happen is that all of the teaching space is going to be taking place in the college of medicine buildings," he said. The ABC building will house wet labs, biomedical informatics equipment and other specialty gear for research into cancer, diabetes, asthma and such neurological diseases as Alzheimer's.
