SUGAR LAND--August 27, 2015--Reported by Annette Kreuger, Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--On any given day, in any given state, odds are good that a major research facility is being planned or under construction on a university campus. A recent analysis of Industrial Info's Pharmaceutical Tracker - Online Database randomly pulled five such projects in various stages of planning--but not yet under construction--across North America. Without regard to cost or size for inclusion in the selection, the sample projects are a good illustration of what kind of life-science buildings are being constructed by universities. The five projects are worth a cumulative $263 million, with an average total investment value (TIV) of an impressive $52.5 million.
