| The Silvio O. Conte National Center for Polymer Research was conceived as two distinct wings connected by a common elevator: one wing for offices and the other for laboratories. Facing north, the six-story office wing is a steel structure faced with an enameled steel and glass curtain wall. An arcade of exposed steel beams and stone-clad pillars serves no structural function, but creates an inviting entranceway to the building. The curved design of the office wing draws the eye into a courtyard created by the convergence of the Center and the [[l:lederle_graduate|Graduate Research Towers]]. | The Silvio O.
