Key insight about the project goes here
The Roy Blunt NextGen Precision Health Building at the University of Missouri is a 265,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art research facility designed to advance personalized medicine and drive innovation in healthcare. The four-story building supports groundbreaking work in cancer, vascular, and neurological research while fostering collaboration between academic researchers, healthcare providers, and industry partners. Designed as a landmark facility on campus, the building reflects a forward-thinking architectural vision that supports cutting-edge scientific discovery.
Metal Design Systems, Inc. supported this vision by fabricating over 22,000 square feet of aluminum composite material (ACM) using the MDSI Series 20 panel system, consisting of approximately 1,500 precision-engineered panels. The high-performance rainscreen façade delivers a sleek, modern appearance while providing long-term durability, energy efficiency, and reliable building envelope performance—helping create a world-class environment for innovation in precision health research.
