Attendees enjoyed a guided tour of the Center, exploring its amenities and innovative spaces for the first time. While the office furniture continues to arrive, and no lab equipment has been ordered yet, it was clear to see how the facility will come together over the next several weeks. 

Ample lab space awaits the arrival of sets of equipment. 

The Conference Room is nearly completed.
