The seven-storey TRI building comprises four floors of laboratory research plus facilities for research support, administration and teaching. A bio-pharmaceutical manufacturing facility is adjacent to the main TRI building, housing the first major mammalian biopharmaceutical production facility in Australia.
In 2004 a proposal was submitted to the Queensland Government. In 2007 this progressed to project design. Five years on and $354 million in funding from the Australian and Queensland Governments, The Atlantic Philanthropies, UQ and QUT, TRI became operational and four institutes came together to populate one very special facility.
Designed by Wilson Architects + Donovan Hill and built by WATPAC, TRI is a 32,000 square metre building making it the largest medical research institute in the southern hemisphere.
It includes four floors of laboratory research plus facilities for research support, administration and teaching. The bio-pharmaceutical manufacturing facility led by Patheon with fermentation capacity is adjacent to the main TRI building.
Patheon will assist new biological drug developers and provide cutting-edge technical and economical methods for producing clinical grade biopharmaceutical compounds.
