Florida State University dedicated the $55.8 million James E. King Jr. Life Sciences Teaching & Research Center in Tallahassee on September 12, 2008. The 181,000-sf facility was built by LLT Building Corp. and is expected to attain LEED sustainable design certification. Housing teaching and research space for FSU's Department of Biological Science, the project was designed by Elliott Marshall Innes of Tallahassee with Lord, Aeck & Sargent as architect of record. Comprised of two five-story wings connected by a two-story lobby, the facility includes rooftop greenhouses, lecture halls, classrooms, computer labs, and 150-seat auditorium. A flexible laboratory design with reconfigurable fume hoods, benches, and utilities allows teaching labs to be converted to research space as needed.
