Current Use: | |
At the western edge of the Campus Common, the new Talbot Hall was built to take over the functions housed previously in Higley Hall, a building erected in 1941 when biology, as both a discipline and an academic department at the College, was much smaller. The new space provides greatly expanded facilities that reflect advanaces in molecular biology and biochemistry. | |
