A new, modern research building and an adjacent learning resources center which together house the research, library and teaching facilities of the School of Medicine was constructed in 1994. These facilities provide a state-of-the-art environment for teaching and research.

The Microbiology and Immunology Department occupies the fourth floor of the research building. Other occupants of the research building include the Departments of Anatomy and Cell Biology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Pharmacology, Physiology and Therapeutics. Additional resources in neighboring buildings include the Department of Pathology, the Energy and Environmental Research Center, the USDA Human Nutrition Center and the Computer Center. The proximity of these departments and facilities provides the opportunity for cooperative and collaborative research and training in the basic sciences.
