Research Building in Detroit

Overview of Scope

The project is anticipated to include wet bench laboratories and central support facilities including core labs, vivarium, and common meeting areas. MSU and Henry Ford Health will collaborate on the planning and design. The project will be on the Henry Ford Health campus in Detroit.

The university's strategic partnership with Henry Ford Health is a key component to expanding research, along with expanding MSU’s footprint in Detroit, and creating the cornerstone for a National Cancer Institute designated cancer center. In February 2021, MSU executed the Master Affiliation Agreement with Henry Ford Health. The agreement calls for a research building to be constructed at Detroit campus.

The research building is part of $2.5 billion community development project in Detroit’s New Center neighborhood, which is shown in the image above. The research building is shown with a red arrow.
