Coming soon: the DDCRP Building
The Drug Discovery and Cancer Research Pavilion (DDCRP) will serve as an extension of the existing Retzky College of Pharmacy building, which is adjacent to the University of Illinois Hospital. The new facility will support existing research while expanding our capacity to influence emerging areas of translational research. The Drug Discovery and Cancer Research Pavilion will be a five-story facility dedicated to pharmaceutical research. Public-private collaboration space will account for 14,000 of the over 190,000 sq. ft. building.
