| Mar 11, 2024 5:24 pm |I had a chance Monday to reunite with my childhood friend, a 65-foot-long brontosaurus, at a press preview of Yale Peabody Museum’s long-awaited reopening. I worried the once impressive prehistoric creature would seem small and feeble to me now that I’d reached my intimidating final height of five feet four inches.
When I arrived, I found out that the 150-million-year-old fossil has evolved more than I over the last decade, sprouting 27 more tail vertebrae, a new front rib and an uplifted, wagging tail.
The museum, too, has evolved, as the public will find out later this month.
Yale took three small steps forward in its plans to construct a football stadium-sized — at least in square footage — physical sciences and engineering building on university-owned property known as “Science Hill.”

| Sep 13, 2023 9:40 am |The opportunities must have sounded too good to be true for Alfred Washington, Elizabeth Cropper, and Shayne Miller.
But there they were, as part of an open house hosted by the Connecticut Center for Arts and Technology (ConnCAT).
Washington, a trainee on the cusp of an internship at a New Haven biotech company, was discussing the separation of protein molecules based on their size and electrical charge. Cropper, an instructor, was demonstrating blood draws in the phlebotomy lab. And Shayne Miller, a Culinary Arts Academy grad, was offering guests a cup of green tea lemongrass ice cream artfully wedged with a sesame seed cookie that he had earlier created.
Why is a London-insurance-giant-backed real estate developer about to drop $220 million on constructing a new 11-story lab and office building atop a “10th Square” surface parking lot?
Two words: Yale. Bioscience.
A North Carolina-based real estate developer has purchased the southwest corner of the ex-Coliseum site for over $10.6 million — furthering an already-city-approved plan to build up that part of the property into a new 11-story lab and office building.

A new lab and classroom building that will be nearly as large as Yale’s football stadium — at least in terms of square footage — is in the works for East Rock’s “Science Hill,” while a new hub for Yale’s performing arts is planned for a university-owned downtown corner.
Those are two of Yale’s largest new development projects slated for the years ahead, as announced in a recent building update sent out by one of the local Ivy Leaguer’s top officials.
