Comstock Hall, University building at Cornell University in Ithaca, United States.
Comstock Hall is a six-story building at Cornell University in Ithaca dedicated primarily to entomology and biological research. The Investigative Biology Teaching Laboratories occupy the first floor, while the remaining floors house extensive research facilities for scientific work.
This building was constructed in 1985 after New York State sold the original historic structure to Cornell University during the 1980s. The new facility allowed the university to establish more modern research spaces for biological sciences.
The Department of Entomology houses a major insect collection here that supports research and teaching in the biological sciences. Visitors can observe how this collection helps scientists understand insect diversity and ecology.
This building houses specialized laboratory equipment and research facilities spread across multiple floors, primarily available for academic study and research work. Visitors should be aware that access to active research areas may be restricted and appropriate conduct is required when in laboratory spaces.
This building was mentioned in the television series The Office when characters discussed one character having attended Cornell. The reference shows how university facilities sometimes appear in American popular culture.
