Biological Sciences Facility
BSF/CSF Building Dedication Ceremony Photo Album - 10/09
Erection of structural steel is 70 percent complete on the Biological Sciences Facility, a privately financed facility now under construction west of EMSL.
The BSF shares a two-story, transparent atrium with the Computational Sciences Facility, where foundations including the raised concrete computer floor space have been completed.
Both facilities — together valued at about $75 million — will partially replace laboratory and office space PNNL has been using on the south end of the nearby Hanford Site. That space must be vacated by 2011 to make way for the federal government's environmental cleanup activities at Hanford.
