Duke considers the Levine Science Research Center "a building without walls," where interdisciplinary research and education in the sciences, engineering and medicine can flourish.

Besides classrooms, student labs and the Love Family Auditorium, the 341,000-square-foot facility houses the Centers for Engineering Research; the departments of computer science; and pharmacology and cancer biology, and the Developmental Cell and Molecular Biology Program.

The largest resident of the Levine Center is the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences, where faculty and students explore such issues as global climate change, air and water quality, and natural resource damage. The school also operates a marine laboratory in Beaufort, N.C.
