A new Basic Science Research Building, adjacent to
the Schoninger Research Quadrangle, with seven
floors and 144,000 square feet of space, will offer
one of the most important and prominent naming
opportunities available on the UM/JM Medical Center
campus.. At $58 million, this naming opportunity is
reserved for a philanthropist who will provide a
substantial gift commensurate with the cost of the
building. The attendant signage at the top of the
building will be visible from all directions,
including from SR 836 and I-95. The architecture
will reflect the School of Medicine's vision for the
future of basic science research in two ways. First,
the building will contain core lab facilities that
emphasize collaborative, interdiscliplinary research
among a number of departments and centers across the
medical campus. Second, the research conducted in
this building will reflect the School of Medicine's
basic science priorities.
Floors
Each floor will have a unique naming opportunity
associated with research programs conducted by
physician scientists who are leaders in their field
and well-funded through competitive grants from the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) and others. Each
floor will have16,000 square feet of space and the
naming opportunity is available for $5 million..
Donor recognition will be significant - name(s) will
be prominently displayed in the main lobby of the
building and in the entrance area of the named
floor.
Research Pavilions
Each floor will contain core lab facilities with
adjacent research labs, faculty offices and other
program areas associated with a particular research
endeavor - these areas will be referred to as
Research Pavilions. For example, a floor may be
designated for the Neurosciences and split between
an Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Research Pavilion.
Each Pavilion could be named for $2,500,000. The
donor would have prominent recognition in the
entrance area of the floor, as well as at the main
entrance area of the Research Pavilion.
Conference Rooms
Each floor will have a large conference room
adjacent to the entrance area for each floor, for
faculty and staff to gather for peer- reviewed
presentations and other seminal academic activities,
as well as for meetings with external audiences. The
average size of the room will be 200 square feet and
a naming opportunity is available for $100,000 -
recognition would be prominent outside of the
Conference Room and visible to all who enter that
floor.
Director's Offices
The Director's Offices are reserved for senior
faculty leading research at each of the Research
Pavilions -- average size of 180 square feet. A
naming opportunity is available for $100,000 and
recognition will be displayed at the entrance to the
office.
