The new Hershey Building houses the Gordon Sato Flow Cytometry Laboratory, one of ten CSHL Cancer Center shared resources. It is named in honor of Dr. Gordon Sato, a biophysicist who studied under Max Delbrück. He began a 20-year teaching career with the CSHL summer course program in 1963, leading the cell culture courses. Since 1993, he has devoted himself to the Manzanar Project, which seeks to transfer seawater aquaculture and silviculture methods to poverty-stricken people in arid environments.

The Mark J. Zoller Teaching Laboratory was named in honor of Dr. Mark Zoller, a chemist recruited to CSHL as a Senior Scientist in 1983. Dr. Zoller strongly impacted research and teaching during his 5-year stay. He is notably remembered for his involvement in one of the most important summer Courses ever offered at CSHL: "Advanced Techniques in Molecular Cloning," where he taught the methods that were transforming the research landscape. He and his wife remained strong supporters of the Lab until his untimely death in 2009.
