Carnegie keeps its character
As mentioned in Errol's post, the renovations have begun at the Carngie building this fall, 2007. Not to worry, Errol. There will be some wonderful upgrades in the old building but great care is being taken to maintain its character and historic place on the campus. In fact, some features that had been covered over in the past will be reopened adding to the authentic nature of the building. The biggest change will be the large addition at the back of the building intended to accommodate the growing CSHL Archives and to incorporate the Genentech Center for the History of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology. The new building is designed to blend perfectly with the old which makes a significant statement about progress in general.
