"With this new building, we are sending a message to biotech firms around the country that Rhode Island has the workforce to meet their needs. When Rhode Islanders approved my $50 million bond initiative to fund this project, they understood that biotech is the industry of the future. This building puts our state on the leading edge of educating and training those who can perform these high-wage, highly-skilled jobs. The project is one of several biotech initiatives being pursued here. It will encourage more biotech firms to locate in our state and it will raise the level of research at URI. "
