Omni Architects designed the original Thomas Hunt Morgan Building for the Department of Biology in 1973. In its original configuration, it contained teaching laboratories, a lecture auditorium, administrative and faculty offices, and service and support spaces.
Omni recently completed this project to convert basement research laboratories and animal care spaces to new teaching labs arranged in a “class lab” configuration to support biology instruction. In addition to the four new class labs, the basement renovation includes new prep labs, a radiation instruction labs, and other support spaces.
Second floor renovations include conversion of teaching labs to new modular research labs for biology faculty. The research lab configuration was coordinated with the building’s structural module so additional labs can be built using the same configuration as funding allows and faculty expansion demands.
