The Brookhaven National Laboratory Interdisciplinary Science Building (ISB) is a state-of-the-art facility that groups existing energy-related research scientists into one facility with collaborative environments to facilitate and realize the scientific benefits of multi-disciplinary collaboration. EW Howell Construction Group completed the 87,000 gross-square-foot, 2-story building in March 2013. This project is important for the Long Island economy. During the 2-year construction period, it helped to create hundreds of local jobs, and the majority of the construction costs were spent directly with Long Island subcontractors and suppliers.
