4. University of Minnesota Molecular & Cellular Biology Building June 1999 SUMMARY OF NEEDS l Current research and educational facilities are outdated and inadequate. l Quality research and academic facilities enhance the recruitment and retention of faculty of world-class stature. l The faculty and students are currently spread out across two campuses, hindering collaboration.

5. University of Minnesota Molecular & Cellular Biology Building June 1999 l Creation of a major landscaping focal point within the Academic Health Center, creating more welcoming access to the area. l Creation of an identifiable entrance for the Health Sciences area including a “front door” along Washington Avenue. l Improvement to the traffic movement system in, along and through the Health Sciences area. l Incorporation of external and internal spaces encouraging collegial communications between research faculty and students.
