The new building faces about South-west; see plan i. 



The uses of the various rooms are indicated by specific desig- 

 nations on the plans. The laboratories not otherwise designated 

 are designed for the following purposes: (i) Primarily for bio- 

 logical research 120, 123, 140, 141, 206, 208, 209, 217, 218, 229, 

 235, 236, 238, 239, 240, 241, 242, 315, 318, 320, 322, 325, 326, 

 329, 330, 341; (2) for biochemical research 121, 122, 124, 142, 

 207, 219, 221, 316, 317, 321, 327, 328, 342, 343, 344, 345; (3) for 

 biophysical research 126, 311, 312, 313, 315, 339. 



The biological laboratories are equipped with running salt 

 and fresh water, direct and alternating electric current, gas and 

 the usual laboratory furniture. The biochemical laboratories 

 have in addition chemical hood and desk with the usual appli- 

 ances. The two general biophysical laboratories, 126 and 339, 

 have the fittings of the biological laboratories, apparatus case 

 and open space for setting up apparatus; the X-ray rooms are 

 protected by lead-sheathed walls. 



The roof-plan shows the intention of storing the sea-water in 

 shallow cement tanks not visible from the ground which will 

 replace the tall wooden tanks on the present building.
