The Quincie Douglas pool is located directly across from the site of the proposed UA Bioscience Park, East 36th Street and South Kino Parkway. Bioscience Park would place the UA at the forefront of the biotech technology.


The UA and Tucson's intellectual and economic identities are slated for big changes if city council members and developers can reconcile over details of a proposed 309-acre UA biotechnology park near South Tucson.

"Biotech is going to be to the 21st century what microelectronics were to the second half of the 20th century," Wright said. "It's going to be the leading-edge technology that will help to drive the U.S. and world economies."

The biotechnology park could catapult the UA to the front of the world's fastest-growing research industries during the next two decades, but the plan is in danger as developers and city officials continue to disagree over proposed land-swaps and building plans.
