UC Berkeley Dedicates Stanley Hall

The University of California, Berkeley dedicated the $162.3-million Stanley Hall on Sept. 28, 2007. The 285,000-gsf biophysical research facility houses instructional spaces, 33 wet labs, 8 computational suites, a 900 megahertz NMR, and a mass spectrometry suite. Designed by Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Architects with Research Facilities Design (RFD) providing laboratory design consultation, the flexible 11-story building features research “neighborhoods” of lab, office, and equipment space to foster cross-disciplinary interaction and collaboration free from traditional departmental boundaries. Stanley Hall is able to accommodate up to 650 faculty, students, and staff and includes the Biomolecular Nanotechnology Center, the Keck MacroLab, and the Vincent Coates Functional Genomics Center.
