BIDMC Research East


February 6, 2008

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Research East, Boston

This was taken at 8:30PM tonight and should serve as evidence that people in the Harvard Medical Area do not, in fact, work 24/7, as rumors largely dictate. I was trying to catch up on some paperwork that had been all over my desk since late November, and it took me three days until 8:30 tonight to finally get things filed away. I take my notebook keeping very seriously, so I feel very relieved that all is caught up.

Research East is a very old building (from the 1920s) that we are currently leasing from nearby Emmanuel College. We will be moving out of this building in a few months and taking residence in a brand new 18-story research tower behind the building (we'll be on the 10th floor), at which point this building will be turned over to Emmanuel College once again. While the building has served out BL2+ research operations well for the past 15 years (not to mention that it is well disguised during the summer months, as it is largely covered by ivy and has a sign outside designating it as an Alumnae Hall for the college), we are excited with the prospect of moving into more modern facilities.
