During 1948 it became the primary location for the “Institute of Experimental Biology and Medicine”. Other institutes housed in Building-5 have included the “National Institute of Dental Research”, and the “National Institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases” (which later became the National Institute of Arthritis, Diabetes, and Digestive and Kidney Diseases). Building-5 initially housed researchers in infectious diseases and was home to the “Microbiological Institute” (later renamed the “National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases”). Because of the nature of this work, Building-5 was constructed with a sophisticated exhaust system that prevented the spread of infectious diseases from room to room within the building.​Constructed in 1945, Building 5 houses the National Institute of Diabetes & Digestive & Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) Laboratory of Chemical Physics.
