On June 8, the Laboratory dedicated the Dolan DNA Learning Center, named for Helen and Charles Dolan. The Center is significantly expanded, with new administrative, laboratory, auditorium, and lunchroom space for school-aged visitors. In addition, the Learning Center nearly doubled its existing exhibit space and is in the process of designing new exhibits related to the history and future of biology.

Renovations were completed this year on the Genome Research Center in nearby Woodbury. The building, a 65,000-square-foot facility, now houses four research components: a Bioinformatics Center, a Cancer Research Center, a Genome Sequencing Center, and a Plant Genomics Center, as well as new administrative space for the CSHL Press and other administrative departments.
