The capital expenditure for this project, according to hospital press releases, was to be approximately US$1 billion.[8] Construction was originally due to be completed by the year 2010, but was not scheduled completed until 2011.[9]

Harrington Project edit

The Harrington Project for Discovery & Development, launched in 2012, is a $300 million initiative at the University Hospitals whose purpose is to speed the delivery of new drugs and enhance the medical reputations of Cleveland and the Hospitals.[10] It was established through a $50 million gift from the Harrington family and an additional $100 million in support from University Hospitals.[11] The project has three components, the Harrington Discovery Institute (HDI), the Innovation Support Center (ISC), and Biomotiv.

In June 2014, the Harrington Discovery Institute received a $25 million grant from the State of Ohio through the Third Frontier economic development program to further its mission.[12]
