The Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics is housed in the Paul D. Coverdell Center for Biomedical and Health Sciences. The 140,000 square foot Coverdell Building houses a dynamic, interactive mix of disciplines with a unifying focus on problems of biomedical importance. Besides laboratories and administrative offices, the Coverdell Center includes the University's premier animal facility. The $40 million building is constructed from indigenous granite and recycled materials, and incorporates such "green", or environmentally friendly, aspects of design as sensors that pick up on natural light levels and dim florescent fixtures and a water conservation system that will ensure that the facility is as energy-efficient as possible.
