Doheny Eye Institute has progressed from the design phase to commencing the interior build-construction and renovation of its future headquarters at 150 North Orange Grove Boulevard in Pasadena, California. Work crews have started transforming the interior of the building, formerly owned by Avery Dennison Corporation, into a technologically-advanced vision research center and headquarters. The facility will include expanded vision research laboratories and a state-of-the-art conference center.
“Our new home in Pasadena will allow us to bring everyone together under one roof to facilitate interactions between researchers and physicians to promote the collaborations necessary for translational studies,” said Doheny Executive Director Marissa Goldberg. “This bench-to-bedside approach is vital to improve the quality of lives in our immediate community and around the world.”
The seven-acre campus has been designed to enhance Doheny’s capabilities for discoveries that fuel ideas for clinical trials, new treatments and cures. Laboratories will be equipped to accelerate research and discovery in key areas, including artificial intelligence, regenerative medicine, gene-based therapies, and imaging diagnostics. The conference center will house educational programs, including seminars, conferences, symposia and lectures, and will enable remote collaborations.
Completion is expected in late 2021.
