YSB Update in Yale News! Put on your hard hats!

The Yale Science Building was designed by César Pelli to fit into the larger ecosystem of the buildings around it. This $283 million project, also the work of Dimeo, will reshape Science Hill. The Yale Science Building will be anchored by the 500-seat O.C. Marsh Lecture Hall, and by a pavilion that will be a congregating space for Science Hill. The building’s greenhouse is manufactured in Belgium. The glass for the greenhouse, from Poland, will arrive this month and will be installed by local glazers. Other elements of the facility, from the insectary to the shared underground instrumentation space, are less visible to the outside world. The upper floors will contain open-plan labs while others will have views over the pavilion and the newly landscaped plaza to the building’s west. The sunken courtyard will bring natural light into the Center for Science and Social Science Information below. This project will be finished and the building ready for occupancy in August of this year.   See an aerial view of the building’s progress in this brief video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/79_hJuhoZgE
