IALS took delivery of a $3.2 million, 7.3-ton, 3-Tesla magnet and related equipment on Nov. 17 for use in the Human Magnetic Resonance (MR) Center in the Life Science Laboratories Building. A crew from German manufacturer Siemens began the approximately six-hour process at about 7:30 a.m. IALS director Peter Reinhart and Peter Grey-Mullen, design and construction management, were on hand to oversee the installation, along with several excited faculty members, Jane Kent and Rebecca Spencer of CPHM.
