The Roger A. and Helen B. Krone Engineered Biosystems Building (EBB) is an interdisciplinary facility on the North side of the campus of Georgia Tech in Atlanta, Georgia. EBB is a hub for collaboration between researchers in the fields of Chemical Biology, Cell Therapies and Systems Biology, and it houses labs and offices for nearly 40 researchers. A notable occupant of the building is the Children's Pediatric Technology Center. A primary design requirement of the 218,880 square feet (20,335 m2) building was to foster interaction between two colleges of Georgia Tech: the College of Engineering and the College of Science. The building opened on 11 September 2015, with major funding for its development and construction provided by a gift from Roger Krone and his wife Helen Krone.

Georgia Tech Research Institute

The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) is the nonprofit applied research arm of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. GTRI employs around 2,400 people, and is involved in approximately $600 million in research annually for more than 200 clients in industry and government. Initially known as the Engineering Experiment Station, (EES) the organization was proposed in 1929 by W. Harry Vaughan as an analog to the agricultural experiment stations; the Georgia General Assembly passed a law that year creating the organization on paper but did not allocate funds to start it. To boost the state's struggling economy in the midst of the Great Depression, funds were found, and the station was finally established with US$5,000 (equivalent to $90,000 in 2021) in April 1934. GTRI's research spans a variety of disciplines, including national defense, homeland security, public health, education, mobile and wireless technologies, and economic development. Major customers for GTRI research include United States Department of Defense agencies, the state of Georgia, non-defense federal agencies, and private industry. Overall, contracts and grants from Department of Defense agencies account for approximately 84% of GTRI's total research funding. Since it was established, GTRI has expanded its engineering focus to include science, economics, policy, and other areas that leverage GTRI's partnership with Georgia Tech. GTRI researchers are named on 76 active patents and 43 pending patents.
