In January 2009, Brandeis opened its new $154 million science complex, the Carl J. Shapiro Science Center. The facility houses 175,000 square feet of laboratory and instructional space as well as a science commons, seminar rooms, and conference space.
The Shapiro Science Center is designed to further enhance the university’s leadership in the natural sciences and emerging areas of interdisciplinary research [architectural rendering right].
All eight members of the National Center for Behavioral Genomics are housed on two of the three research floors in the Carl J. Shapiro Science Center.
