...Biological Research Infrastructure will house state-of-the-art mouse research labs in two underground levels below the Biological Labs courtyard. The Northwest Laboratory Building, with its futuristic glass front, will face the museum complex on Oxford Street. And the ultra-modern Laboratory for Integrated Science and Engineering, designed by world-renowned Spanish architect Rafael Moneo, will rise behind the Science Center and feature what a University press release calls “an unusual pearlescent facade that changes subtly with the day’s lighting.”Together, the projects—to be completed by 2007?...
