CityLab is a biotechnology learning laboratory housed at 801 Albany Street. Through CityLab, supported by Boston University, students are provided with state-of-the-art laboratory facilities and a curriculum in biotechnology, which is otherwise unavailable to most school systems. Nearly one-third of the participating students are minorities and at least one-third attend Boston Public Schools. Over the past two decades roughly 100,000 students have passed through CityLab's doors. Programs like CityLab bring knowledge and skills to area youth and stimulate a dynamic local learning environment. Through university linkages like this, CDC of Boston is developing learning opportunities for area youth that will enable them to make lasting contributions to the local economy in the future.
