The Waisman Center’s long history of excellence in interdisciplinary research will move to a new level in December 2007 when construction is complete on the Laboratory Expansion Project.  The project, launched in 2005, will upgrade approximately 20,000 square feet of outdated laboratory facilities in the south tower, constructed in 1973, providing state-of-the-art laboratory space that will support world-class biomedical research on human development, developmental disabilities, and neurodegenerative diseases.
