 Capital Projects
Our buildings and grounds staff
(the new Facilities department), housed for many
years in the garage-style buildings facing the harbor
on the Lab's lower roadway, has officially outgrown
its space. To that end, we have completed renovation
of the former Kurahara House and begun construction
of two adjacent barns approved for construction by
the Village of Laurel Hollow on June 17, 1996. This
new complex, located at the north end of the campus
west of Bungtown Road, will consolidate all
facilities, functions and staff, including painters,
landscapers, security, electricians, grounds keepers,
plumbers and others. The Richards Complex is named
for former director of buildings and grounds Jack
Richards, who continues to serve part-time as
director of construction.
Bungtown Road was once again paved
in 1996. While it is, in fact, a public road, the Lab
has for many years maintained, plowed and otherwise
cared for our "main road." This is a
benefit to the Lab and our neighbors alike.
