Piscataway, N.J.
Rutgers University was awarded $9.6 million in federal grants in April of 2010 to expand the Cell and DNA Repository located on the Busch campus in Piscataway. The first phase of construction comprises a 5,000-sf cryogenic storage facility built as an addition to Nelson Biological Labs. The second construction phase involves the demolition and renovation of the C Wing in Nelson Biological Labs to create the 11,000-sf RUCDR Nucleic Acid Separation and Analysis Laboratory. The facility will house research offices and robots for nucleic acid extraction and high throughput liquid handling. Completion is expected by mid-2011.
