On Oct. 13, 2011, the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) / Oregon State University (OSU) Collaborative Life Sciences Building (CLSB) broke ground on the new $295 million facility and placed portions of OHSU, OSU and Portland State University (PSU) under one roof.

The CLSB is located on OHSU’s Schnitzer Campus at Portland’s South Waterfront. The 498,642-square-foot building included lecture halls, classrooms, labs, specialty research centers, offices and a state-of-the-art facility for the OHSU School of Dentistry.

The CLSB project was funded with $110 million in state bonds through the Oregon University System, $83 million in OHSU philanthropy funds, $92 million in OHSU institutional funds, and $10 million in TriMet funds.
