Institute For Behavioral Medicine Research

Project Description

21,000 SF interior renovation of the 4th and 5th floors of the IMBR Building located on the OSU Wexner Medical Center campus. Fourth floor is comprised of wet labs and support spaces while the fifth floor consists of research and faculty office space. The project scope included the fit out of laboratory and research space, code related elevator upgrades throughout the building, abatement and work associated with roof penetrations to accommodate the installation of wet lab hoods.

Established in 1996, the Institute for Behavioral Medicine Research (IBMR) is the cornerstone of a broad research program at The Ohio State University in the field of psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) – the study of how the brain interacts with the body’s immune system. This field has evolved from a novel area of curiosity to an important scientific field, one that has meaningful implications for public health and great promise for enhancing medical treatments.
