The New Jersey Center for Biomaterials' home base occupies 9,000 square feet in Rutgers' new Life Sciences Building, which was dedicated on June 2, 2005.  With chemistry laboratories on the third floor and biology laboratories on the second floor,  formerly dispersed technical facilities have been brought together in spaces designed especially to support the Center's interdisciplinary approach.  State-of-the-art equipment offers an ideal environment for basic and translational research.

The Center's own administrative and conference facilities are on the first floor, with additional auditorium and atrium space that is shared with other Life Sciences departments.  The atrium's terrazo floor incorporates a unique work of art by Michele Oka Doner that draws its inspiration from the images of biomedical sciences - cells, molecules, and organisms.
