FSU opens health research building on Tallahassee Memorial campus
Florida State University marked the October 30 opening of its 137,000-square-foot health research and collaboration building, which combines research laboratories, clinical training and a family-medicine practice.
What the record says
Florida State University marked the October 30 opening of its Health Research and Collaboration Building at the FSU Health Tallahassee Memorial Hospital campus. Trustees voted to name it for Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson.
FSU describes the 137,000-square-foot building as shared research, training and clinical space. The first-floor Family Medicine Residency practice serves more than 12,000 patients annually, the university says.
The second floor includes simulated care environments for education and professional training. The third and fourth floors contain biomedical, clinical and translational research space, including laboratories and examination or procedure rooms.
FSU presents the opening as part of its North Florida health initiative. Projected regional benefits remain institutional claims, not independently measured outcomes.
