Its Clinical Sciences and Translational Research center (NUCATS) functions as an integrated hub supporting and accelerating clinical and translational science across Northwestern University (including six schools), our three nationally-renowned clinical partners, our Chicago community and stakeholders, and the broad consortium of CTSA-funded institutions. Construction was begun in 2015 on a new 600,000 square-foot Biomedical Research Building that will be adjacent and connected to the Robert H. Lurie Medical Research Center. The space will more than double vivarium capacity and house laboratories for both Feinberg and Lurie Children's Hospital, and have an eventual build-out capacity of approximately 1.2 million square feet. The Searle Rehabilitation Research Center at RIC is one of the largest and most respected programs of its kind. Has just moved into a new hospital facility, two blocks from its previous site. This new hospital will bring 21st century biomedical science and research directly into the clinical environment with a focus on advancing patient ability. Chicago is a major metropolitan area that boasts world class cultural institutions, restaurants, and both professional and college sports. It is a city with a vibrant downtown and many culturally diverse neighborhoods filled with a unique series of parks and nature preserves, including an 18 mile public lakefront consisting of beaches, parks, harbors, and trails.
