The Ralph N. Adams Institute for Bioanalytical Chemistry is located in the newly constructed Multidisciplinary Research Building (MRB) on the West Campus of the University of Kansas in Lawrence. The $40 million, 106,000-ft2 building was completed in December, 2005 and is the latest addition to KU’s growing research complex on west campus. The MRB is a state-of-the-art, three-story research facility designed with research labs, support space and interaction areas to promote collaborative research. More than 200 scientists, students and other research staff will work in the building when it is fully occupied.
