Collaborating to solve the world’s problems

Facing Cherry Road, just adjacent to the P&A Building, sits the new Life Sciences facility where microbiology, biochemistry, food safety and genetics researchers collaborate in state-of-the-art laboratories to find solutions to the world’s problems. Designed to be highly energy efficient, the 100,000-square-foot facility is targeted to achieve LEED gold status.
Dedicated on Feb. 8, the facility includes the Leica Microsystems Imaging Suite, housed in a 2,400-square-foot laboratory on the ground floor, which will be part of the Clemson Light Imaging Facility used by more than 60 principal investigator laboratories and five businesses. The support of Leica Microsystems, a world leader in microscopy, camera and software solutions for imaging and analysis of macro-, micro- and nanostructures, ensures that the very latest, state-of-the-art equipment will be available for use and demonstration.
