More Doors, Fewer Walls Varmus Convenes Public Meeting, Considers Ways to Open NIH By Carla Garnett
Eighteen years ago, Theresa Schwantes of South Milwaukee, Wisc.,
experienced a medical crisis. Her newborn daughter Brianne was
diagnosed with a brittle bone disorder called osteogenesis
imperfecta. Schwantes was advised that her daughter could not
possibly live long with the disorder. One of the best options, she was
told, would be to put her in an institution. Schwantes refused.
Instead, the family sought help from NIH. After years of clinical
studies, the happy mom now reports, Brianne is a freshman this fall
at American University, considering a career in law and politics.

Compared to the other construction projects going on in every
campus quadrant, the improvements being made to Bldg. 37 are
relatively quiet and disruption-free. That's because the 6-story
building is being redone top to bottom, floor by floor, while its
occupants work inside.

Bldg. 37 was originally completed 30 years ago. Current modernization is being conducted floor by floor, pending availability of funds each year.
