A new 350,000-square-foot research and education building at UMass Chan Medical School in Worcester reached a construction milestone on Monday, when the building’s highest steel beam was put in place 184 feet above the facility’s slab foundation.
The nine-story building is located at campus center and is expected to provide research space for more than 70 principal investigators, as well as add educational and conference spaces, UMass Chan said in its announcement Monday.
When the school announced the plans to build the facility in 2020, the construction cost was estimated at $325 million.
The next construction phase will be roof installation, as well as the exterior curtain wall system of glass and steel panels, the medical school said, with the goal of beginning interior work by winter.
The building is scheduled to open in 2024.
