The Refinery, the University of Arizona’s first building at The Bridges development on Tucson’s south side, gets its name from its mission to “mine” technologies developed by the sharp minds on the UA campus just up the road.

The building, off South Kino Parkway, will soon get a chance to live up to its name, as it enters its final phase of construction ahead of a planned opening next spring.

The four-story, 120,000- square-foot building will be anchored by a half-dozen UA programs that will initially take up half of The Refinery’s space, including Tech Launch Arizona, the UA’s tech-commercialization arm, the UA Center for Innovation incubator and a UA-linked nonprofit devoted to national security needs.
