The Emerging Life Science Block houses the specialized research facility of the University known as the Central Instrumentation Facility. This facility promotes the interdisciplinary approach in research among the various faculties in the University as well as from other academic research institutes and/or industries in and around the Punjab region.

The foundation stone of ‘Emerging Life Science Block’ was laid by Prof. Richard R.

• Each instrument has a teacher in-charge who is responsible for the maintenance and working of the machine.
• The instruments are open to all the faculty members of the University.
• The facility is open 24 hours and 7 days in a week for use.
• Most of the instruments are operated by the students.
• Continuous power supply.
• Each instrument is having UPS backup for 30 min and the whole building has automated power backup from the generator which starts automatically within 2 min of power failure.
• A separate grant is created by the University for the Maintenance of the instruments.
