Renovations updates - "Yeast Mating Room"

As we wait for the final touches on the main molecular lab room, the workers started working on a small side room.

This room will serve as the "Yeast Mating" room. It will have a place for the Singer RoToR, the MasterClave and agar preparation station, an incubator, and supplies for all of these. The idea is that the room will be a more or less autonomic workstation for researchers interesting building and manipulating yeast libraries.


Since this is a small room, we hope the work will progress quickly. The workers tore down the existing interior. Then they rebuilt the foundations of the wall with the neighboring office (to support shelves and to allow for insulation).

The following day the electricians came in and put the tubes for placing the electricity wires.

Today, the plaster wall was finished, and tomorrow we should have tiles in place.
