The CBR is both a virtual center and one that occupies physical space. CBR operated space is found in New Orleans on the uptown and downtown campuses of Tulane University and at Xavier University. Though primary administrative functions are performed in these three headquarter spaces, CBR members work in laboratories and offices throughout Tulane and Xavier. CBR interest and impact are international in scope, but the rich historical, cultural, and environmental context of New Orleans and its surrounding region informs all our work.

Of 37,233 sq.ft., approximately 21,521 sq.ft. is laboratory space while the rest is devoted to administrative and faculty offices, meeting rooms, reading areas, and high-tech conference space. The HERB is home to, among other groups and laboratories, the CBR Environmental Endocrinology Laboratory, the Lung Biology Group, and the Section of Pulmonary Diseases, Critical Care and Environmental Medicine.
