$120M Dallas Biomedical Engineering Center to Open this Fall

A research facility constructed through a partnership between The University of Texas at Dallas and the University of Texas Southwestern is set to open this fall.

Work on the 150,000-square-foot, $120 million Texas Instruments Biomedical Engineering and Sciences Building started in 2021.

The building will be located in the Southwestern Medical District in Dallas and house researchers from both universities with a goal of developing technologies to improve medical care. There will also be a biodesign center that will house a large assembly and design studio, metal fabrication plant and 3D-printing rooms to create the medical devices of the future.

UT Dallas President Richard C. Benson added, “The already robust partnership between UT Dallas and UT Southwestern will take another huge step forward upon the launch of our shared facilities. This partnership will also provide students and faculty with more opportunities to create transformative technologies that will improve lives.”
