The Texas A&M University Interdisciplinary Life Sciences Building is a 3-story laboratory complex constructed to enhance the University's research interactions across disciplines. This facility enables Texas A&M to recruit outstanding faculty, enhance its research reputation and pursue major research funding.

The building includes 95,000 square feet of modular laboratories and research offices supporting chemical, biological and computational work. A large microscopy and imaging center includes state-of-the-art electron microscopes. Core facilities include proteomics, genomics and structural biology labs that service the university's research needs. Additional functions include a vivarium, limited wet teaching labs, 300-seat auditorium, coffee shop and large atrium to help foster cross-discipline collaboration.

The building is sited prominently across from the historic Simpson Drill Field and serves as a physical and conceptual link between the main campus life sciences corridor and the west campus research buildings. Labs and lab support facilities utilize modular casework to permit reconfiguration based on evolving research directions.
