The University of Connecticut at Storrs has undertaken an ambitious building program, especially for science and research facilities. This paper will highlight one of the recent buildings that opened recently- Pharmacy/ Biology. This "show and tell" approach will put on display the approach taken for designing a state-of-the-art facility for both teaching and research. Laboratory layout, furniture, fume hood ventilation, and safety features are just a few of the topics that will be discussed.
