UConn\u2019s Cell and Genome Sciences Building<\/a> has been cited as 2011 Renovated Laboratory of the Year by <\/em>R&D Magazine<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Laboratory of the Year competition, now in its 45th year, evaluates laboratory facilities on lab planning and design, flow, plant operations, aesthetics, energy efficiency, sustainability, cost, and more.<\/p>\n

In announcing the 2011 recognition, R&D Magazine<\/em> said, \u201cThe transformation of the University of Connecticut Health Center\u2019s Cell and Genome Sciences Building in Farmington from a nondescript, late-1970s industrial research building into a state-of-the-art university research facility demonstrates how older buildings can find new life. Architect Goody Clancy of Boston brought daylight into interior corridors and reconfigured the floor plan to facilitate workflow and collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n

A profile of the facility will be published in the May\/June 2011 issue of Laboratory Design Newsletter <\/em>and R&D Magazine<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a great honor and attests to the talent and tireless efforts of Roger Goldstein and Michael Feeley and their team at Goody Clancy, and of Tom Trutter and Kevin Norton and their Health Center colleagues,\u201d says Marc Lalande<\/a>, associate dean of research planning and coordination.<\/p>\n

The 117,000-square-foot Cell and Genome Sciences building located at 400 Farmington Avenue houses more than 100 scientists working in 25 laboratories. It is the newest addition to the Health Center\u2019s research enterprise.<\/p>\n

The building houses sophisticated technologies, including highly specialized imaging equipment; three-dimensional, laser-based microscopes; a major data center and super-computers; and next-generation sequencers. It also features a meeting area known as \u201cthe crossroads\u201d and the Edmund and Arlene Grossman Auditorium, specifically designed for optimal use for scientific presentations, demonstrations, and interdisciplinary and regional research symposia. It also includes incubator space for emerging bioscience industries.<\/p>\n
