IMPROVEMENT OF RES FACIL: BRAIN, PERCEPTION, COMPUTATIONAL SCI

描述（由申请人提供）：波士顿大学正处于规划一个约19.5万平方米的新校区的最后阶段。新大楼将允许增加新的教职员工和重新安置目前在不合格设施的教职员工。它正在寻求美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）的资助，以“装修”新大楼的六层（21,734平方米）。ft.)为神经科学系（NS）。“卫星”NHP设施将大大改善NS教师的研究条件。LSB将容纳分子生物学，细胞生物学和生物化学系以及该学部的NS和大学的认知和语言科学系（CLS）。LSB将把主要动物和“湿实验室”研究人员联合在一个与主要动物护理设施相连的综合设施中，并靠近所有主要生物医学核心研究设施。选定的地点与大学的总体规划一致，并将保留NS和CLS的邻近性，作为创新脑科学计划的一部分。NS腾出的空间将允许生态学和进化生物学部门在靠近温室和植物标本室的最近翻新的实验室大楼中联合起来。在LSB增加一个“卫星”NHP设施将允许扩大用于其他生物医学研究的中央动物护理设施。分子细胞生物学腾出的空间将把公共卫生研究所的许多人员从校园内外的其他地点联合到一个更适合“干”研究的建筑中。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): BU is in the final stages of planning a new LSB of some 195,000 sq. ft. The new building will allow addition of new faculty members and relocation of faculty currently in substandard facilities. It is seeking National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding to "fit-out" the sixth floor of the new building (21,734 sq. ft.) for the Department of Neuroscience (NS). The "satellite" NHP facility will greatly improve research conditions for NS faculty. The LSB will house the Departments of Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Biochemistry and NS from the Division and the Department of Cognitive and Linguistic Sciences (CLS) from the University. The LSB will unite major animal and "wet laboratory" researchers in a single complex linked to principal animal care facility and in close proximity to all major biomedical core research facilities. The site selected is consistent with the University's Master Plan and will preserve the proximity of NS and CLS as part of the innovative Brain Science Program. Space vacated by NS will allow to unite Departments of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology in a recently renovated laboratory building in close proximity to a greenhouse and herbarium. The addition of a "satellite" NHP facility in the LSB will allow expansion of central animal care facility for other biomedical research. Space vacated by Molecular Cell Biology will unite much of Public Health Institute from other sites both on and off campus to a building better suited to "dry" research.
