Spring Planting — The soil is prepared (left) for growth of the new Clinical Research Center, which has taken advantage of a relatively mild winter thus far. Soon, construction cranes will adorn the site.

The Vaccine Research Center site adjacent to Bldg. 37 takes shape as the fast-track project gets under way in earnest.

Bldg. 50 rises at the corner of Center and South Drives. In the background is Stone House and the Natcher Center. A placard recently erected outside the site officially designates the structure as the Louis Stokes Laboratories, named after the congressman from Ohio who has been a longtime supporter of medical research.
