Connecting the "5" in The BIO5 Institute

This event takes place in our coveted Tri-Building Complex comprising three buildings and a central courtyard. All three buildings are connected, however, they also stand alone in their own designs and features.

The Thomas W. Keating Building is casually known as "The Home of BIO5". It is 177,000 sqft and was built in 2006. Alongside, the Keating building is the Medical Research Building (MRB) which is 152,000 sqft and was also built in 2006. The third and newest building is the Biosciences Research Laboratories Building (BSRL). BSRL is approximately 172,000 sqft and construction was completed in 2017. What all three of these buildings have in common is next-level, multi-disciplinary, challenge-solving research. The Tri-building Complex represents the culmination of great University of Arizona research.
