New laboratory is open for business Cleveland Clinic's recently opened $75 million medical testing lab already on path for expansion Published: Thursday, May 17, 2012, 5:00 AM Ellen Kleinerman, The Plain Dealer By Ellen Kleinerman, The Plain Dealer CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Cleveland Clinic opened its new $75 million state-of-the-art medical testing laboratory four months ago and already the building is poised for change. "The lab of today is not going to be the lab of five or 10 years from now," said Dr. Kandice Kottke-Marchant, chair of the Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Institute. "We built this with expansion and flexibility in mind." The new 135,000-square-foot "LL Building" sits on the eastern edge of the Clinic's downtown campus, at the corner of Carnegie Avenue and East 105th Street in Cleveland. It houses the largest-volume hospital lab in Ohio and the 15th largest in the U.S. Systemwide, Clinic labs perform about 20 million tests annually. The LL Building doubles the Clinic's laboratory footprint. It operates 24-hours a day, seven days a week and has the capability to perform 2,400 different types of tests including advance molecular pathology, microbiologic, molecular, genomic, DNA testing and more. In comparison, some of the larger labs nationwide offer around 500 unique tests. http://www.cleveland.com/healthfit/index.ssf/2012/05/cleveland_clinic_opens_new_lab.html

I still think it is...science

And Detroit lost today -- we're up 4 games now.

Personally, I think you should take a hard look at Little Italy. You'll find places in that price range, and you don't need a car to get to CSU ( I personally know a couple CSU students who live car free). You'll have lok around for "for rent" signs, because the neighborhood hardly ever puts listings online.

Wow -- excellent analysis! You're gonna fit right in quite fine here on UrbanOhio and in Cleveland.

Dang, both graduations are the same weekend?? This will add another 10K+ out-of-towners into the city limits. Where is everyone gonna park??

Who's ready for complete insanity this weekend??? I picked a bad weekend to finally decide to see the Rembrandt exhibit at the Cleveland Museum of Art... 1) Horseshoe Casino OPEN (first weekend) 2) City events and festivals....oh my!

This weekend: sculptures, 40-foot mural will celebrate year of the dragon in asiatown This weekend, tens of thousands of visitors will descend on the St. Clair Superior neighborhood for the Cleveland Asian Festival. During their visit, they will be delighted by 25 colorful dragon sculptures painted by local artists and installed outside businesses to beautify the area and celebrate the arts and Asian culture. The dragons will be displayed through the end of August. They will be auctioned off at a special benefit on Saturday, September 29th, the proceeds of which will support arts and culture programming in the St. Clair Superior neighborhood. http://freshwatercleveland.com/devnews/yearofthedragon051712.aspx

If Dan Gilbert really wants this, I get the feeling he'd be the man to pull this off -- how cool would this be to finally host the All-Star game?? Cleveland Hoping to Host NBA All-Star Weekend May 16, 2012 By Scott 10 Comments Having not hosted All-Star festivities since the opening of the Gateway District in Cleveland, Dan Gilbert and the Cavaliers are hoping to build off of the momentum from the recent opening of the Horseshoe Casino and be a destination for the NBA’s best at some point in the near future. ”That is something definitely that we are interested in,” Gilbert said on Tuesday afternoon following the crowning of point guard Kyrie Irving as NBA Rookie of the Year. “‘I hope in the next few years we’d be able to get it. ‘I’m going to do our best and I’ll talk to the commissioner (David Stern). We’ll be talking to the league very shortly.’” The earliest Cleveland could be in the mix for the All-Star festivities would be 2015. http://www.waitingfornextyear.com/2012/05/cleveland-hoping-to-host-nba-all-star-weekend/

This is the only info I have on the project: Advanced Energy Facility (University Circle/East Cleveland) -- $270 million http://development.cuyahogacounty.us/pdf_development/en-US/CuyahogaCountyCORFNotice_1.pdf

Thanks for the pics -- the new signage looks much better.
