Construction Up-dates

UofR Clinical and Translational
Science Building (CTSB)

The University of Rochester Medical Center is pleased to announce that ground has been broken for the new Clinical and Translational Science Building (CTSB). Because of the location of this construction site, adjacent to the School of Nursing's Helen Wood Hall and within our neighborhood, the University wishes to keep neighbors informed about the progress of the building's construction.

On a regular basis, this page will be updated with a "two week outlook of construction activities" of the CTSB. If you have any concerns or questions about this project, you may contact Gregory Meyer, Project Manager, UR Department of Planning and Project Management, at 313-3992.
