Twenty-three years after it opened, the Life Sciences Building has been renamed Melvin M. and Kathleen C. Green Hall, honoring the late pioneering biology faculty member and his late wife.

“Green” Hall, fittingly, is the home of the College of Biological Sciences, with research laboratories, faculty offices and the administration. A 50-foot-tall DNA sculpture hangs in the stairwell.

“I think he’d be tickled,” Ken Burtis said about his friend and mentor, Mel, on the naming honor. “He’d really get a charge out of it.”
