Equipment and Facilities
ODIN is located in the Snyderman Building (Genome Science Research Building I) on the medical campus of Duke University (595 LaSalle St, Durham, NC), occupying approximately 3000 square feet and in MSRBIII. Rooms housing freezers are equipped with alarm systems for each freezer, emergency power, and two-fold redundant environmental control systems (air conditioning).
