The last major piece of structural steel was welded into place on the University of Cincinnati's Center for Academic Research Excellence (CARE)/Crawley Building in August 2006.
The $118 million nine-story building is part of the University of Cincinnati's overall master plan. The building will add 240,000 gross square feet of laboratory and educational space to the UC Academic Health Center campus.
The project, which includes the CARE/Crawley Building, phase 1 of the MSB renovation and the Eden Quad landscaping, will cost $185 million and is being supported by state and federal funding, gifts and bond financing. A major benefactor of the CARE/Crawley Building was the late Edith J. Crawley of Muncie, Ind., who bequeathed $12 million to the UC Academic Health Center to bolster research into eye disease in the elderly and to support medical students and professionals dedicated to eye research.
The project broke ground on Oct. 5, 2004, and is expected to be completed in fall 2008. The principal architect for the project is Harley Ellis Devereaux of Cincinnati, Ohio.
