Lab Renovation

The synthetic biology division of the SOSLab is moving into a new lab, as soon as it is finished being built. The facility will include standard wetlab benches, sinks, fume hoods, a microscope darkroom, a room for refrigerators and centrifuges, and all sorts of other nice details. We will share the space with Georg Seelig, a synthetic biologyist / molecular programmer who was recently hired by the EE and CSE departments.

It took them all day to bring all the parts down.	Notice also the new light fixtures are aligned with the cabinets.	The first bay.	The back walls have cabinets with glass doors so you can see your stuff.
