(Denver Business Journal, April 27, 2010) The University of Colorado at Boulder has received another large contribution toward construction of the Jennie Smoly Caruthers Biotechnology Building on the university’s East Campus — this one from the federal stimulus initiative.  The university announced the $15 million grant Tuesday. The funds are distributed under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.  It is the latest of several large donations and grants in recent years for the research and teaching facility, whose construction began last September.  The 266,400-square-foot Caruthers building is going up on CU-Boulder’s east campus, at Colorado Avenue and the Foothills Parkway. It will house the university’s Colorado Initiative in Molecular Biotechnology, the department of chemical and biological engineering, and the biochemistry division of the department of chemistry and biochemistry.  Click here to read more…
