The skyline around the Phoenix Bioscience Core is changing big-time.

Besides some of the future construction happening in the PBC, including the University of Arizona’s Center for Advanced Molecular and Immunological Therapies and the Wexford Innovation Labs at 850 PBC, there is also several major projects taking place around the PBC and downtown Phoenix community. As you go about your daily routine at the Phoenix Bioscience Core, have you wondered what those multi-story cranes and workers in lime-colored vests are constructing?
