The Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation breaks ground on its new research tower, marking the start of a campus expansion that will nearly double the foundation’s size.

The facility, to be ready by the spring of 2011, sits north of OMRF’s main building at 825 N.E. 13th St. It becomes Oklahoma’s second gold-certified Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design building. Innovative technologies, the most visible of which will be the tower’s helix-shaped wind turbines, will work in concert with other energy-saving features to decrease electricity usage by 37 percent and total power use by 17 percent.


The new tower will not only add 185,000 SF of laboratory, administrative and clinical research space, but it will be the first medical research facility anywhere to generate a portion of its power through wind. It will do so through 24 wind turbines — designed in the shape of DNA molecules — that will sit atop its roof.

When completed, the tower will house a state-of-the-art research clinic for patients suffering from multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases. It will also be home to 34 new laboratories, where scientists will probe medical problems ranging from heart disease to arthritis and immunology.

Pretty neat........

I hope it does better that the 800 sq ft, $400,000 building they built up in Mich. One of the cities did that so the counsel could save money on electricity and they have yet to ever use it, LOL. With all the sunshine and wind that Oklahoma has to offer, they should do quite well.

How ya doin there Synopsis?

Doing fine Seabee; thanks.

Pardon me, but they built an 800 square foot building for $400,000.00 dollars? 800 square feet is less than half the size of my house!

What an idiotic plan for a bulding. No wonder Michigan is having so many problems!

I know, ain't that a hoot! I heard about it on 105FM WMJI radio station and those guy were havin a blast with the stupidity of it all. Can you believe the towns people haven't made a fuss about the wholle thing. They built a solar powered building in one of the most cloudiest state, how dumb can they be.
When Bjb123 and I went to Mt Scott just outside of Ft Sill, I got the biggest shock when I saw all the wind generators they had erected. Oklahoma still at the front when it comes to progress and, progressive thinking .
