The University of Kansas will name a life sciences building in Kansas City, Kan., after former University Chancellor Robert Hemenway.
The Kansas Board of Regents on Thursday approved naming the
three-year-old Kansas Life Sciences Innovation Center for Hemenway,
who stepped down as chancellor in June after 14 years in the position.
The innovation center is located on the campus of the KU Medical Center. The facility focuses on research about liver disease, reproductive sciences, neuroscience and diabetes, among other areas.
Kansas Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little says Hemenway oversaw
the university at a time it expanded its research efforts and helped make the region a hub for bioscience.
