Crossroads area of the Cell and Genome Sciences Building at the UConn Health Center. Architect: Goody Clancy. (Anton Grassl\/Esto)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The\u00a0Cell and Genome Sciences Building<\/a> has been awarded the 2011 Renovated Laboratory of the Year by <\/em>R&D Magazine<\/em><\/a>.<\/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\u00a0Marc Lalande<\/a>, associate dean of research planning and coordination.<\/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 its award announcement,\u00a0R&D Magazine<\/em> stated: \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 issues of\u00a0Laboratory Design Newsletter <\/em>and\u00a0R&D Magazine<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Cell and Genome Sciences building located at 400 Farmington Avenue is 117,000 square feet with more than 100 scientists working within its 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; 3-dimensional, laser-based microscopes; a major data center and super-computers; and next-generation sequencers. It also features the \u201ccrossroads\u201d meeting area and the Edmund and Arlene Grossman Auditorium which were 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
