Ranked among the world’s most advanced research facilities, Rensselaer’s 218,000-square-foot Center for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies provides the university with a state-of-the-art location to conduct interdisciplinary research and host world-class programs and symposia.

The Center for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies exemplifies a new research paradigm, as no department offices reside in the building; rather, it is occupied by researchers and their laboratories.

With its high-tech laboratories and expansive atrium, it provides a platform for collaboration among many diverse academic and research disciplines to enhance discovery and encourage innovation.
