Tennessee State University (TSU) has broken ground on a new $8 million Ag-Bio research building in Nashville, Tennessee.
The new state-of-the-art agricultural biotechnology research building will encompass a total area of 25,000 square feet. The research building will house working space for more than 20 new Ph.D scientists. The new facility will be capable to conduct DNA synthesis and chromatography analysis.
In addition, the new facility will also accommodate research rooms for graduate students and large classrooms. It will feature high-efficiency HVAC systems and laboratories. The building is expected to be completed by the end of 2013.
TSU has secured funding from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for construction of the new research facility.
