The new facility houses laboratories and support space to advance Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s world-renowned research to identify the causes and cures of cancer. The first floor of the building houses a large lobby, loading areas and building support space. Dry lab space for epidemiology is located on the second floor, and the upper floors house private laboratory spaces and a biosafety level three (BL3) animal facility with air locks and a high level of biochemical security. Offices are located at the corners of the building, and glass curtain walls covering those areas offer a view of the city.
