New laboratory in the Purdue Life and Health Sciences Park will be
specifically devoted to drug discovery, a field that has not had a
purpose-built home at Purdue until now. It will partially replace space
in the Wetherill Laboratory of Chemistry and will be designed with open
laboratories for maximum adaptability and collaborative work, as well as
sharing of equipment and core resources.

Creating a science laboratory requires close and constant collaboration
between planning
engineers and scientists—from the broad conceptual thinking in the
initial workshops through the development of floorplans. The
collaboration includes discussions of the kind of science to be
practiced in the lab, diagrams of the basic workflow, a conceptual
layout, and, finally, the specification of fixed equipment.

Since Darwin, scientists have been fascinated and intrigued by the
social behavior of
insects and how that behavior might contribute to our understanding of
social evolution and development. The arthropod, specifically the Monomorium
pharaonis or pharaoh ant, is well-suited to this research because
of its reliable social system and genetic basis. Unlike most ants, the
pharaoh ant reproduces readily in the lab and has a brief life span, and
succeeding generations can be maintained easily and indefinitely.
