C-3 Wing of Sterling Hall at the Yale School of Medicine - GOLD
(3/11/2010) Yale's Sterling Hall of Medicine (SHM) C3 Laboratory is a 16,300 square foot research space for the Department of Neurobiology. The renovation process took place in 2005 and created four new, large open-design laboratories to be shared among the six investigators on the floor. New offices and common support facilities were included for department faculty, staff, fellows, students, and associated faculty from other departments.
