Building UB: Our Physical Plan

Farber Hall Renovations

Student working in simulation lab

Major renovations in Farber Hall will meet immediate and pressing needs for high quality research and simulation space in the health sciences.

Construction is now complete on major renovations to Farber Hall to provide badly needed new research space for the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences and others. The approximately $10.2 million project will also establish a health sciences simulation laboratory on the fourth floor, as well as research laboratories on the third floor. A Grand Opening ceremony was held in September 2011 to celebrate the new spaces. The renovations are critical to the ability of the health sciences schools to continue recruiting high-quality faculty even as plans are developed for the eventual move of the health sciences to a new campus in Downtown Buffalo. Work includes new heating, cooling, plumbing, electrical and communications infrastructure, as well as interior architecture and finishes.  See more photos of the Grand Opening here.
