The Director of Research Technology (DoRT), a newly created office, is charged with unifying research support services at Yale University's massive expansion project know as West Campus.  The office is responsible for the planning and design of new laboratory spaces, the deployment and inventory management of new and recycled scientific instrumentation, global vendor interactions and coordinating faculty-directed research activities as they relate to the thematic objective of collaborative research institutes and the University at large. DoRT draws upon the expertise of many university divisions � including Environmental Health and Safety, Purchasing Services, Facilities Planning, and the Provost's Office � to maximize research support services while creating novel campus-wide initiatives that synergistically enhance University departments. This presentation will serve to introduce the key university personnel and departments that contribute to this new endeavor.  Recent success stories and persistent challenges will be highlighted along with future directions of DoRT.
