Life Sciences Laboratory, formerly the Lunar Receiving Laboratory in 1967-1979.
During the 6 Apollo moon missions they brought back about 900 lbs. of lunar rocks. Ninety per cenet of those rocks are still kept here in a clean room on the top floor called the Lunar Vault. Several years back an intern stole several rocks and tried to sell them on eBay. He got caught and was imprisoned for stealing government property.
