| Whitehead BioMedical Research Building is equipped with special heat-recovery wheels projected to save an annual $100,000 in energy costs and condensate-recovery units that could save 2.5 million gallons of water per year as well as many other applications that qualified it for Silver Leed Certification. The Whitehead Building consists of eight floors of offices and state-of-the-art laboratory space. Among the departments are cell biology, human genetics and physiology. Two new entities included the Neurodegenerative Disease Center and the Center for Medical Genomics as well as major research efforts in pulmonary and critical care medicine, pathology and laboratory medicine, and digestive diseases. An "open lab" concept was designed using 150 laboratory modules that allow researchers to have large, flexible labs, offering easy access to the ideas of their colleagues in many disparate disciplines. | |
