1 Tour of Building 2100 Biological Sciences

2 Building 2100 was constructed in 1965 History of Building 2100 Q. What year was this photo taken? A Facilities identified as being inadequate. Blueprints were drawn for building remodel (1992) Room 2124 and adjacent prep. room were remodeled following an electrical fire. Identified on Facilities Master Plan as needing renovation (2005); included in Measure B Facilities Bond New roof and air conditioning IPP submitted to State for remodel of 2100 (2008) Identified on Facilities Master Plan as needing renovation/replacement (2012) Temporary resolutions to health and safety concerns (Summer 2013) Planning for new biological sciences building ( ) First commercial scanning electron microscope Genetic code cracked First human heart transplant First successful bone marrow transplant First moon walk First vaccine developed for rubella Discovery of RNA priming in DNA synthesis First successful DNA cloning experiments First successful recombinant DNA experiment First vaccine developed for chicken pox CAT-Scans invented US Bicentennial First vaccine developed for pneumonia First test-tube baby is born Hepatitis-B vaccine Smallpox is eradicated First transgenic mice Human growth hormone genetically engineered HIV, is identified Genetic fingerprinting" invented Artificial kidney dialysis machine invented First genetically engineered crop First successful newborn organ transplant First transgenic mouse Cystic fibrosis gene discovered Human Genome Project launched Nicotine Patch approved Salmonella screening for chicken eggs Nobel prize awarded for the discovery of introns First genetic modified food to be approved for sale First completed sequence of a bacterial genome Dolly cloned Identification and cloning of gene responsible for circadian rhythms Human embryonic stem cells isolated and cultivated Fruit fly genome completely sequenced Stem cells used to restore movement of paralyzed rodent Publishing of the draft version of the Human Genome Discovery of small RNAs Nasal spray flu vaccine approved Human embryo cloned First use of brain power to control an artificial hand Approval of the first HPV vaccine Skin cells reprogrammed to behave like human stem cells % of the genome of the wooly mammoth reconstructed Gene therapy cures color blindness in monkeys Manipulating gene for telomerase reverses aging in mice Gene therapy trials successful in treating hemophilia Artificial DNA (XNA)

4 Classroom Scheduling Building 2100 was originally designed to have eight laboratory classrooms. It currently has six functional laboratory classrooms. Spring Semester 2013 the laboratory classrooms were scheduled for an average of 29.1 hours/week. Spring Semester 2008, prior to class cuts, the laboratory classrooms were scheduled an average of 38.7 hours/week. Rooms 2110 and 2124 were each scheduled for 57.2 hours/week Due to high occupation of rooms, we are not able to offer classes at times when they do not conflict with the other classes students require. Number of hours each laboratory room was scheduled per week (Spring 2008 & Spring 2013) Semester Room Mean S hr/wk S hr/wk

5 Room 2130, Botany, Zoology & Environmental Science All classrooms have gas for Bunsen burners, but none have sprinklers. No sprinkler No fume hood No safety shower Eyewash in poor location Inadequate plant growth facilities Cumbersome media projection set-up For plant growth we have a window and small growth chamber to be shared by three classes. Smart classroom

6 Room 2124, Microbiology/Cell Biology No sprinkler No fume hood No safety shower Inadequate aisle width Hazardous for moving microbes Faculty cannot access students Damaged countertops that cannot be properly disinfected No storage for backpacks/lab coats to prevent contamination Wheelchair accessible work station at back of room Difficult access. Blocked visibility Live bacterial cultures are used on this countertop every weekday.

7 2128, Microbiology/Cell Biology Prep. Room No sprinkler Inadequate fume hood No safety shower Damaged countertops that cannot be properly disinfected No separation of office space from laboratory space (staff cannot eat or drink at desk) Laboratory technician works in isolation (safety concern) Peeling countertop. Lab Office

8 2112, Central Stockroom (originally a laboratory classroom) Inadequate fume hood No separation of office space from laboratory space (staff cannot eat or drink at desk) Laboratory technician works in isolation (safety concern) Poor utilization of space Chemical storage lacks ventilation Office Lab

9 Room 2110, Anatomy No sprinkler Inadequate ventilation and cooling of cadaver room Formaldehyde fumes at unacceptable levels Cumbersome media projection set-up trip hazard Computer wires located behind sink History of mold contamination Smart classroom Wires behind sink Mold damage Cadaver room

10 Room 2108, Lecture (Originally a laboratory room designed for 20 students, 2108 is now the only lecture space in building 2100.) Room set-up not appropriate for lecture Too little space between desks Overloading a class by just one student places the room at capacity. Room capacity 50

11 Room 2106, GE Biology No sprinkler Insufficient distance between primary exit and emergency exit 48 year-old fume hood The two exits are located in the same corner of the room

12 Room 2104, Introductory Biology- Allied Health No sprinkler Insufficient distance between primary exit and emergency exit Screen partially blocks both exits 48 year-old fume hood The screen blocks both exits.

13 Room 2102, Physiology No sprinkler 48 year-old fume hood Cumbersome media projection set-up trip hazard Insufficient aisle width

14 Restrooms (Nearly 70% of the biology sections offered in Spring 2013 were for Allied Health students. These classes are predominantly female.) Woman s Small 2 toilets 2 sinks Men s Spacious 2 toilets 4 urinals 3 sinks Additional men s restroom just outside 2100
