The $32.9 million Wayne T. and Mary T. Hockmeyer Hall was recently constructed at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind. The building gives Purdue’s renowned Structural Biology group the space needed to continue to be at the forefront of this field. The 65,690-sf facility includes research laboratories and a BSL-3 suite with embedded electron microscopy. Eight specialized labs and eight general labs are used for work in the areas of protein production, cell and virus culture, large molecule crystallization, X-ray diffraction, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and analytical and biophysical instrumentation. In addition, the building houses 16 offices for structural biology faculty, 33 offices for students and staff, and three conference rooms. This project was designed by URS Corporation with Moody Nolan as associate architect. The laboratory design consultant was RFD (Research Facilities Design).
