The existing cinder track and natural turf field was well past its life expectancy and in need of replacement. In addition, the track dimensions did not meet the National Federation of High Schools criteria for a championship meet track. After reviewing the alternatives with our firm, the Mahwah Township Public Schools decided to specify a synthetic turf field with a regulation urethane track running surface. The synthetic field incorporates provisions for Football, Soccer, Lacrosse and Field Hockey. The Track can accommodate State sanctioned meets, has an eight lane straightaway for sprint event, a double wide long jump/triple jump pit and a double ended pole vault which allows the coordinator to select approach based on wind direction. The $2,000,000 project was completed in June 2007, giving Mahwah Township Public Schools a low maintenance, state of the art Track and Field facility they will enjoy for many years.

Tokarski Millemann Architects was the architect for a DNA storage Facility for Rutgers. From the outside, it looks like any typical academic building on the Rutgers University campus. However, inside RUCDR (formerly Rutgers University Cell and DNA Repository), millions of samples of human cells and DNA lie in hundreds of vats—in conditions ranging from room temperature to the temperature of liquid nitrogen depending on the sample. Some are swabs from the cheeks of alcoholics, part of a massive study on the genetic causes of alcoholism funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Some are blood samples from autistic children and their families who have enrolled in a study. In still other freezers are brains from deceased Alzheimer’s patients, tumor samples from biopsies of cancer patients, and urine and feces samples that researchers are using to study the collection of bacteria that inhabit the human body.

RUCDR acts as the federal genetic repository, storing biological samples from five of the institutes that make up the National Institutes of Health. Doctors and researchers from other universities and hospitals around the country ship samples to Rutgers to be stored for future research studies.
