The Louise and JamesRobert Moffett Molecular Biology Building (MBB)
The University's commitment to the
Institute's success was demonstrated by the completion of the new 150,000 square foot Louise and James
Robert Moffett Molecular Biology Building (MBB) in October, 1997. Built at a cost of approximately $28
million, the MBB provides state-of-the-art research facilities for twenty-five faculty investigators
(some still to be recruited). Each of the Institute's investigators is assisted in research by a
select staff of postdoctoral researchers, graduate and undergraduate students, technicians, and
specialists.
