A new biological sciences laboratory has been completed at Cornell University, with space for hundreds of researchers and multiple departments that had previously been scattered in different buildings all across campus.
The environmentally-friendly building boasts a vegetative roof and makes use of natural sunlight, not unlike the new business school here on the Ithaca campus. Architect Richard Meier designed the $162 million-dollar building, which is one of only 5 university laboratory buildings to receive a gold rating through the LEED Green Building Rating System.
The building's dedication will take place this Thursday, October 16th, from 3 to 6 PM.

Good for Cornell! Every new public building project should be thinking like this.
