Facilities
Built to Collaborate
Our building is key to the interactive research that happens in the Bond Life Sciences Center, and our state-of-the-art facilities provide unmatched opportunities for interdisciplinary research.
The 230,000 sq. ft. building includes nearly 150,000 sq. ft. of research space, which is anything but traditional.
It Starts With Environment
We have labs without doors, shared lounges and one central staircase that everyone uses, all to make it easier for our researchers to start conversations that could lead to the next great scientific discovery.
Bridges across the atrium help facilitate conversations that spark collaboration. A cafe on the first floor is as much about communication than food (though you can grab a delicious lunch there).
Beauty and Function
Glass walls lend a bright, airy feeling to the building. A 110-foot-long architectural art piece, Joy of Discovery, hangs from the five-story atrium containing images that showcase some of the excellent science being conducted in Bond LSC and at Mizzou.
A two-story Living Green Wall in Monsanto lobby naturally filters the air with plants such as ferns, begonias and spiderworts.
