The facility will be a major boost to the Central Indiana life Sciences Initiative (CILSI), the collaboration ofbusinesses, universities and local governments designed to attract and create jobs, companies and entrepreneurial opportunities in the life sciences industry.

"Central Indiana has the assets, capabilities and resources to be a world leader in life sciences, but it will take continuous support and investment from all sectors to make it a reality,” Mayor Peterson said. The futute location of the facility is at the north end of the canal and is the current site of the police department’s mounted patrol horse bam. As a contribution to the effort, thecity is donating the land to IU, subject to approval by the city Metropolitan Development Commission. As a part of the transfer, IU is required to use the property for life sciences. The city and IU also are working to provide some public parking opportunities for canal users, as well as some type of retail opportunity on the property. The horse bam will relocate to the grounds of t^e , former Central State Hospital which is uQYWd fa tfce state,*• ^ ~Tbe fact that .29:/of the nation’s30 high-tech centers are home to a major research university illustrates the necessity of combining the. resources of higher education, business and government to support a 21st century economy,” said Brand. “Indiana’s strength in the life sciences, pharmaceutical and medical device industries gives us a strong foundation on which

to build.”

"The new Information Sciences Building will be strategically located in the center of the city, next-door to Clarian Health programs and across the canal from lU’s Emerging Technology Center,” he added. The facility will be part of the Medical School, under the leadership of Dean D. Craig Brater. It will be the future home of: • Regenstrief Institute Inc., which runs an integrated inpatient and outpatient information system that is the largest coded, continuously operated medical records system in the

country.
