In October of 2008, Davis Brody Bond Aedas, a leading  architectural design practice, produced a Program Study for the Andlinger Center. This important document is the basis for the Energy and the Environment neighborhood project, including the design of the new Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment, a state-of-the-art shared facility laboratory. A faculty steering committee worked closely with the architects. The members of the steering committee were
