Biologics - Cold Room

Cold Room

Cold Rooms are designed to control temperature and humidity. They can be used for the growth of cells and organism storage but can also be used for general chemistry and biology. They typically are prefabricated metal boxes that have closed air circulation.

There were cold rooms and constant temperature rooms on almost every floor of Buildings 29 and 29A, as these are essential for lab work.
