The Salk Institute for Biological Studies is a groundbreaking biological research center. The scientific research institute, completed in 1965, is also one of the coolest architectural spots in SoCal. Now, the Salk Institute is a designated historical site. Founder Dr. Jonas Salk envisioned a facility with open interiors set in a dramatic location. This way, he hoped the center would inspire creativity in researchers.
