A decentralized vertical vivarium offers space for discoveries in the behavioral sciences. Combining research and clinics together through design innovations expedites discoveries into practical application as well as achieve high sustainability ratings.

The structure links directly with the Neuroscience Center to easily offer collaborative research through technical support and centralized analytical facilities. The Neuroscience Research Center is also connected The to a People Mover system, which increases public access and alternative transportation.
