When the Page Laboratory was built in 1987 for advanced plant biogenetics, it created a 15,000-square-foot research facility, one of the largest at CSHL at that time. Notable advances in plant genetics and genomics research continue to take place here. The laboratories are now home to the courses: “Advanced Bacterial Genetics” (the successor to the Phage courses,) “Yeast Genetics & Genomics,” and “C. elegans.” The infamous CSHL "plate race" is held in front of these buildings at the end of the yeast course every year, in which runners use stacks of Petri dishes as batons in this unique relay race.

For the complete history of the 3-building complex, please see the Building Blocks of CSHL pages for the Davenport Laboratory and the Delbrück Laboratory.
