This eight story tower houses research for major interdisciplinary programs in cardiovascular sciences, cancer, pharmacogenomics, genomics, and proteomics.  Design features such as open lab plans and extensive use of interior glass greatly enhance flexibility and collaboration.  MGC provided all the flexible laboratory benches which were pre-wired and pre-plumbed with quick disconnects and twist lock plugs at the top of each frame. This allows each independent bench the ability to connect to a ceiling mount service panel.  In addition to the flexible bench system, MGC provided all fume hoods, fixtures, sinks, and ceiling mount snorkels.
