DiscoverBuilding Tours
There is a tremendous amount of interest in seeing this building from various stakeholder groups across the state and beyond. We plan to be conducting many tours of the building for the foreseeable future. It is important that we are sensitive to any concerns your lab may have for tour groups potentially coming through your space. If you or your program have concerns with this and would rather us not come through your lab area or specific rooms, please let Geoff Bock and Adrian Percy know and we will plan accordingly.
