Biology labs to receive major upgrade

The National Institutes of Health has approved a $2.2 million WSU Combined Core Facility Renovation Project to significantly upgrade four research laboratories at Wichita State. About $700,000 will be used to purchase new equipment. The renovation project in Hubbard Hall is scheduled to begin June 2011 and be completed by March 2012. The laboratory upgrade will complement a $6.6 million, five-year, multi-investigator, multi-institutional project, "The Aging Pituitary/Gonadal Axis" by biology professor George Bousfield.
