This building of The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, in New York, is dedicated to Theobald Smith, who was a pioneer in both epidemiology and pathology. Built in 1930 and designed by Cooledge, Shepley, Bulfinch and Abbot, the Smith Hall hosts the actual research facilities of The Rockefeller University. In 2010, it was renewed and registered with the U.S. Green Building facilities1.
