A new $70 million facility is coming to the Medical Center

The Sam and Ann Barshop Institute for Longevity and Aging Studies now resides at UT Health’s 186-acre Texas Research Park Campus on the far West Side. University officials said the new location across from the Greehey Academic and Research Campus will centralize operations and permit more collaboration between the institute and San Antonio’s medical community.

The building, at 107,768 square feet and three stories tall, will have an open-air bridge that crosses Floyd Curl Drive to connect to UT Health’s South Texas Research Facility. Construction is expected to take two years.

The new location is expected to help move research knowledge developed at the institute into physicians’ clinical practices.
