36,000 square feet of the Brooklyn Army Terminal is home to the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI), which the non-profit organization rents at a discounted rate. Building A, previously an unused space that lay fallow to the benefit of pigeons and their droppings, was converted into BioBAT, a facility for commercial biotech space in which IAVI is the anchor tenant.
