The University of Oklahoma is under contract to buy the Presbyterian Health Foundation\u2019s 700,000-square-foot research park in Oklahoma City, NewsOK.com<\/em> reports. Terms have not been disclosed, but the deal is likely to close in six to eight months, said Carl Edwards, chairman of the foundation\u2019s board.<\/p>\n

“This sale will advance the groundwork established by the Presbyterian Health Foundation to further medical research in Oklahoma to save and enhance human life,”\u00a0\u00a0Edwards remarked.<\/p>\n

Situated just west of the University of Oklahoma’s Health Sciences Center, the research park\u00a0 “will continue to be one of Oklahoma’s major engines for economic growth and resource for learning, discovery and innovation in today’s knowledge-based, technologically driven, global society, commented David Boren, the university’s president. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Located at 655 Research Parkway, west of Lincoln Boulevard, the research park features biomedical research lab and office space, supported by state-of-the-art communications and infrastructure. Occupancy is nearly 90 percent, Edwards reported. The research park’s 36 tenants represent\u00a0 the\u00a0life sciences,\u00a0institutional, educational and government sectors.<\/p>\n

Edwards explained\u00a0that the sale will allow Presbyterian Health Foundation to resume its practice of awarding grants. PHF has provided about $100 million to health-related organizations. However, costs associated with the research park, combined with fallout from the recession, have forced the foundation to put its grant program on ice for the past several years.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cThis transaction furthers the shared goal of OU and the Presbyterian Health Foundation to grow biomedical research in our state to benefit health care in Oklahoma and nationwide,\u201d observed Dewayne Andrews, the Oklahoma University Health Sciences Center\u2019s senior vice president and provost.<\/p>\n
