Plans proceed for Carver lab
by Teddi Barron
Construction is scheduled to begin this summer on the Plant
Sciences Institute's Roy J. Carver Co-laboratory. Last month,
the Board of Regents, State of Iowa, approved the schematic
design. Brooks Borg Skiles, Des Moines, is proceeding with
design and construction drawings. The two-story, 29,975-
square-foot building will be built northwest of the Molecular
Biology Building. Construction will take about 18 months.
The Carver Co-laboratory will provide a place where plant scientists from Iowa State, private industry and universities worldwide can meet in a collaborative environment. The building will feature research space for visiting scientists, small laboratories for industry incubators and state-of-the- art laboratories.
