IMPROVEMENT OF RES FACIL: BRAIN, PERCEPTION, COMPUTATIONAL SCI

描述(由申请人提供)：波士顿大学正在规划一个占地约19.5万平方米的新LSB的最后阶段。英国《金融时报》新大楼将允许增加新的教职员工，并重新安置目前设施不达标的教职员工。它正在寻求美国国立卫生研究院(NIH)的资金，以“装修”这座新建筑的第六层(21,734平方英尺。英国《金融时报》)神经科学系(NS)。“卫星”NHP设施将极大地改善NS教师的研究条件。LSB将容纳该分部的分子生物学、细胞生物学和生物化学系以及NS系，以及大学的认知科学系和语言学系。LSB将把主要的动物和“湿实验室”研究人员联合在一个单一的综合体中，与主要的动物护理设施相连，并靠近所有主要的生物医学核心研究设施。选址符合大学的总体规划，并将作为创新的脑科学计划的一部分，保留NS和CLS的邻近位置。NS腾出的空间将允许将生态学和进化生物学系联合在一座最近翻新的实验室建筑中，该建筑靠近温室和植物标本馆。在LSB增加一个“卫星”NHP设施，将允许为其他生物医学研究扩展中央动物护理设施。分子细胞生物学腾出的空间将把公共卫生研究所的大部分从校内外的其他地点联合到一座更适合进行“干燥”研究的建筑。

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.
