Yale School of Medicine’s Biomedical Research and Teaching Facility, known as 300 Cedar Street, is designed to maximize collaboration between basic and clinical scientific disciplines. Designed by Payette Associates, the 450,000-gsf project was dedicated on the New Haven, Ct.,campus in May 2003. A six-story, 350,000-gsf wing supports flexible laboratories for 700 scientists focused on disease-related research. A four-story, 100,000-gsf wing supports medical education including the school’s new gross anatomy and histology teaching laboratories for medical and physician associate students. This wing also houses one of the largest magnetic resonance imaging centers (MRC) in the country which, with 12 magnets, will serve human patients and non-human primates. A large lower-level animal facility supports the research floors. Offices, an auditorium, and a student lounge complete the program. Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates were Associate Architects.
