"The willingness of the OSU faculty to not only share what they know but also to learn from their students, in a supportive and positive environment, is one of the best things about being a student at OSU. As an undergraduate researcher, I have met with professors in various fields, and they are always willing to share their research with me and hear about what I am working on. I am thrilled for future students who will have professors of various chemistry and bio research fields readily available to them in one state-of-the-art facility."

"Freed to rigorously pursue our mission to determine the role of diet, micronutrients, and lifestyle in preventing chronic disease and promoting optimum health, the Institute can help ensure people not only live longer but also live well! By extending not only lifespan but also "healthspan," the Linus Pauling Institute will improve individual and public health, reduce human suffering, and help control the spiraling cost of health care."
--Balz Frei, Linus Pauling Institute Endowed Chair and Director
"This building will create opportunities for scientists from across campus - working in every part of OSU's strategic plan - to use some of the world's most advanced tools for the imaging and examination of materials at the atomic and molecular level. But, most importantly, this building will provide an opportunity for thousands of students from nearly every major at OSU to learn critical parts of their curriculum in state-of-the art learning facilities, shoulder to shoulder with some of the nation's most talented scientists."
--Sherman H. Bloomer, Dean, College of Science
