Formerly
known as the Park Building it was used as a gymnasium (South Campus
Gym). Currently it is being converted to house the New York Structural
Biology Center, the nation's largest magnetic resonance research facility.
The center will help scientists understand the structure and function
of the molecules, which govern the basic processes of life. It was
created as a consortium of leading academic medical institutions including
CCNY, CUNY, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Rockefeller University,
Columbia University, Cornell University, Albert Einstein College of
Medicine, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York University School
of Medicine, SUNY Stony Brook, and Wadsworth Center, State of New
York, Department of Health. The project will be completed in three
to four years.
