Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center Receives $7M Grant For Research Facility Renovations
May 18, 2010
This project will create or maintain up to 78 construction-related jobs with construction ending on or near January 1, 2012.
Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center announces that it was awarded a research facility improvement grant in the amount of $7,000,028 from the National Institutes of Health, National Center for Research Resources. In response to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the grant is for the renovation of the Center for Translational Molecular Imaging (CTMI) located on the campus of Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center in Baltimore, Md.
Johns Hopkins Bayview will use this grant to renovate 4,156 square feet in the G Building to create a development lab, a facility capable of generating reagents according to current good manufacturing practice, and to house an imaging suite with a dual modality positron emission tomography (PET) scanner.
These renovations will allow Johns Hopkins Bayview to use functional, reliable and energy efficient mechanical systems to support the clinical use of the space. Using current good manufacturing practice criteria, air handling equipment, air distribution equipment and materials, terminal HEPA filter modules, and controls and monitoring of the environment and pressurization will be incorporated. Proposed renovations will be made according to green and sustainable principles, while minimizing impact on the environment and providing a safe work area.
