Center for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies

The Center for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies is a research facility at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute . The 218,000-square-foot building is located on 15th street between RPI’s Playhouse and Academy Hall, next to the Center for Industrial Innovation. The institute hopes the new facility will help to encourage collaboration between experts in different fields, allowing them to solve problems that they would be unable to solve alone. As of 2008, the director of the center is Jonathan Dordick.

Ground was broken on May 17, 2002 for the Center for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies as part of the Rensselaer Plan, a $400 million campus improvement project. Much of the plan was made possible by a $130 million anonymous donation in December 2000 Construction lasted through September 2004 when the building officially opened. However, researchers did not begin to use the new facilities until well into the fall 2004 semester.
