In the north tower of the 500,000-square-foot, LEED Platinum-certified building, investigators from Oregon State occupy seven of the 26 third- and fourth-floor research modules. Many of OSU’s Portland-based pharmaceutical sciences researchers, filling more than 9,000 square feet of research space, have joint appointments with OHSU, and are involved in collaborative projects with investigators from the Knight Cancer Institute and the OHSU Center for Spatial Systems Biomedicine in areas of investigation such as nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems.
