"Biodesign C is a phenomenal building designed to attract new researchers to Arizona, and bring scientists of all types together to share their knowledge and arrive at health, sustainability and security solutions that will benefit not only Arizona, but the world." The project team included architects Zimmer Gunsul Frasca and BWS Architects in addition to general contractor McCarthy Building Companies. "This project represents one of the most significant completions for our Southwest division in recent years that required out-of-the-box thinking in order to keep the project on its fast-tracked scheduled," said Justin Kelton, president of McCarthy Building Companies' Southwest division. "Our team is incredibly proud to be part of a world-class research facility like Biodesign Institute C, where researchers will be working tirelessly to bring significant hope for our future and the promise of new discoveries and innovations." Biodesign Institute C will house a one-of-a-kind key drug discovery and bioenergy research tool – the world's first compact free-electron X-ray laser – a super X-ray that peers deep inside proteins to better understand both the action of molecules critical to cancer and other devastating diseases, and how plants convert sunlight into renewable energy. The building's fifth floor is designed to accommodate Arizona's growing success in the area of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and dementia research, and is envisioned to ultimately house one of the largest teams of Alzheimer's researchers in the nation. Scientists of varying disciplines are housed in the lab's "neighborhoods," Additionally, following ASU's green building standards, Biodesign Institute C has been designed and constructed to the highest levels of sustainability and includes an innovative HVAC system to limit its energy and environmental footprint. With the completion of Biodesign Institute C, ASU's total research square footage within the Biodesign complex is now 538,000 square feet. ASU Biodesign C will celebrate its official grand opening in September 2018. About McCarthy Building Companies McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. (http://www.mccarthy.com/ End
