Construction of the Critical Medicines Production Centre (CMPC) in the Edmonton Research Park is well underway. The exterior shell is almost complete and equipment installation is anticipated to be completed by the end of the year, and full operations to commence in 2026.

When opened the CMPC will position the city as a leading hub for life sciences in Canada. In addition to end-to-end drug development the new centre will also provide infrastructure for researchers and companies to bring new therapies to market.
