  7. V National Conference BIFI, Zaragoza, Febrero 2011 I+D BUILDING IN CAMPUS ACTUR OF ZARAGOZA UNIVERSITY ORGANIZATION • We moved to the new I+D building in February- Marzo 2010. • Laboratories were distributed according to techniques and equipment. • This allows the researches an easier use of the facilities and an efficient space distribution. • New incorporation of researchers and equipments is easier. • Biophysics, Biochemistry and Molecular and Cellular Biology sections at BIFI are distributed in laboratories dedicated to specific subjects. • They are distributed in block number 2 and floor 0 and block number 1 and floor 2 of the I+D building.
