The new facility houses four research components: a Bioinformatics Center, a Cancer Research Center, a Genome Sequencing Center, and a Plant Genomics Center. As recorded in the 2000 CSHL Annual Report, a campaign was underway to fund the complex. Major leadership gifts were given to this campaign by the Norman J. Levy Foundation, the William and Maude Pritchard Charitable Trust, and the Seraph Foundation, Inc. Later, major gifts came in from the Goldfield Family Charitable Trust and a generous donation of real estate by Kenyon Gillespie.
