Moffett Laboratory, which adjoins the eastern wing of Guyot Hall, was built in 1960 to provide additional space for the Department of Biology. Its cost was defrayed jointly by the Whitehall Foundation and the National institutes of Health, and it was named for George M. Moffett '04, founder of the Whitehall Foundation and donor in 1952 of the Moffett Professorship of Biology.
In addition to teaching laboratories and offices, Moffett Laboratory contains radioisotope laboratories and many types of specialized equipment for the study of physiological and biochemical processes, greenhouse space and plant growth chambers for the study of plant development, and a variety of different temperature-controlled rooms for studies on a wide range of biological phenomena.
