Upon completion, the five-story, approximately 33,000 square meters (354,000-square-foot) Paul and Diane Manning Institute of Biotechnology at the University of Virginia will be a state-of-the-art facility to house the first-of-its-kind translational research program in the Commonwealth.

The building will include modular, multi-use laboratory space and support space, expanded research facilities, core facilities and an area for 100-150 researchers and partnering biotechnology companies to foster collaboration on the frontlines of science and technology.

Construction began in December 2023 and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2027.
