Facility
The LSI is a 235,000 square feet building with six floors between U-M's central campus and the university's health system in Ann Arbor. Completed in 2003, the building includes housing for wet lab and laboratory support spaces, administration offices, PI offices, interaction spaces, core laboratory areas, a combined gallery/lobby space and a small library.
The exterior design of the building is intended to harmonize with other campus loft-style structures, while also meeting the needs of a modern research institute.
