Originally constructed in 1913, this structure was in need of extensive updates to meet the demands of 21st-century developmental science research. This is why universities across the U.S. are rethinking how their aging infrastructure and historic buildings can meet the demands of modern research and collaboration. According to recent data, the estimated replacement cost for college campuses across the United States comes in around $2 trillion, with a significant backlog of needed capital renewals exceeding $112 billion.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
