The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is
primarily located on the fourth floor of Wahl Hall
(building seen to the right in photo-1),
home to many of the basic science departments at KU Medical
Center. The Medical Center, founded in 1905, now covers some
50 acres and includes more than 5500 employees, more than 2500 students,
and, of course, thousands of patients and visitors to the Hospital
(photo-2). One of the most modern
facilities is the Lied Biomedical Research Building,
opened in January of 1995. The Lied building (to
the left in photo-3) is home to several
of the Biochemistry Department faculty (photo-4)
who recently moved into most of the second floor. An enclosed atrium
with a fountain connects the two buildings, with the former exterior
of Wahl Hall east (photo-5) now enclosed.
Faculty offices in the interdisciplinary Lied building now overlook this
atrium (photo-6), with the lobby being used
for many receptions and social activities by the Medical Center community.
The Electron Microscopy Facility is also housed in the Lied building.
A covered walkway (middle in photo-7) crosses over
39th St. and connects to both the Archie Dykes Health Sciences
Library (seen from Lied atrium in photo-8) and the Animal Research Facility.
Some of the Department faculty and researchers are located a short
distance across the city to the east at (photo-9)
the Kansas City Veterans Administration Medical
Center (KCVAMC).
