The Design-Build Institute of America awarded the Caltech Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen Neuroscience Research Building the 2021 National Award of Merit in the Industrial / Process / Research Facilities category. The new 144,780 SF, five-story research building will serve as the university’s new administrative and knowledge center for the Division of Biology and Biological Engineering. The $188 million state-of-the-art research facility fosters cross-disciplinary collaboration by providing “research neighborhoods”, providing wet, dry and computational research labs. The support facilities include a vivarium that contains animal holding areas, procedure rooms, and related vivarium support spaces. The complex also includes a teaching lab, a 150-seat lecture hall, offices, and conference rooms to accommodate faculty, professional researchers, graduate students, post-doctoral scholars, and administrative support. A pedestrian tunnel connects the sub-basement of the new neuroscience building to the Broad Center for the Biological Sciences.
