Scheduled for completion in 2027, the building is part of CSHL’s 379,500-square-foot expansion, which includes neuroscience and cancer biology labs and a parking garage. A $500 million second phase will add an 81,000-square-foot research housing and conference center and a 56,000-square-foot collaborative research center for visiting scientists, with $55 million in funding from New York State Empire State Development.
CSHL President Bruce Stillman said: “We cannot predict the future, but we can prepare for it, and that is what Foundations for the Future does. The ongoing expansion will help ensure that CSHL remains at the global epicenter of biology research and education for generations.” The project reinforces CSHL’s leadership in biological sciences.
Sean Szatkowski, Skanska USA Building’s general manager, stated: “With roots dating back to the 1800s, CSHL continues to exemplify a longstanding commitment to progress, innovation and building for the future.” The use of sustainable timber highlights environmentally responsible construction.
The expansion enhances CSHL’s research capabilities, supporting advancements in AI-driven biology and fostering collaboration, ensuring its role as a global hub for scientific innovation.
