AC Martin provided architectural and engineering services for this 95,000 square foot Molecular and Life Sciences Center. The building houses biology, biochemistry, and chemistry research as well as lower and upper division teaching laboratories. Fumehoods and mechanical exhaust systems are used extensively throughout the building. In addition to an increase in capacity by 138 full-time equivalent students in teaching laboratories, 160 graduate research stations, and 46 faculty offices, this project provides the necessary relief space to permit the progressive renovation of the existing Peterson Hall 2 and 3 science buildings to proceed. Special lab functions include cell/molecular/physiology research; fluorescent microscopy center; immunology; genetics, biochemistry and chemistry.
