The Hub of Health and Science Research

New SEIR building on schedule for 2018 opening 

The Hub of Health and Science Research

Late last October, UTA broke ground on the Science and Engineering Innovation and Research (SEIR) building, a $125 million, state-of-the-art facility that will be the heart of life and health science research on campus.

“This is another milestone in our journey to becoming the best university in Texas,” says President Vistasp Karbhari.

Already, SEIR is serving as a magnet to attract nationally recognized researchers and scholars. The new building will employ the modern concept of research lab “neighborhoods” to drive cross-disciplinary collaboration.

“We’re going to have a number of investigators in one area, on one floor, attacking a problem—disease, an abnormality, whatever it might be,” says Paul Fadel, associate dean of research for the College of Nursing and Health Innovation. “What that means is we can take it from the whole human body, physiology, down to the cellular and molecular levels, and I think that is really going to advance our research capabilities in quite a distinct way from other places.”

In addition, the building will house the North Texas Genome Center, a key research hub that will help meet the growing demand for whole genome sequencing.
