StarCraft/Zerg buildings

Hatchery / Lair / Hive
The Hatchery is the Zerg's primary building. It is where gathered resources are dropped off. Unlike the other races, the Hatchery is where all Zerg units spawn. The Hatchery also can be upgraded, opening up the tech tree each time. The first upgrade changes it to a Lair, the second to a Hive. At the Hatchery level, Burrow can be researched, and at the Lair level, Overlord Transport, Speed, and Sight can be upgraded.
 * Cost: 300/0
 * Hotkey: H
 * Available Upgrades
 * Burrow: 100/100
 * Ventral Sacs (Overlord transportation): 200/200, requires Lair
 * Pneumatized Carapace (Overlord speed): 150/150, requires Lair
 * Evolve Antennae (Overlord sight range): 150/150 requires Lair

Extractor
This building allows Drones to collect Vespene Gas, which is needed to build almost every unit. Like its Terran and Protoss counterparts (the Refinery and Assimilator), only one Drone can be inside it at any given time.
 * Cost: 50/0
 * Hotkey: E

Spawning Pool
The Spawning Pool is required to create Zerglings and opens up the rest of the tech tree. Two Zergling-specific upgrades can be researched here. The second upgrade cannot be initiated until the Hatchery has been evolved into a Hive.
 * Cost: 200/0 (originally 150/0, adjusted in Update 1.08)
 * Hotkey: S
 * Available Upgrades
 * Metabolic Boost (increases Zergling speed): 100/100
 * Adrenal Glands (increases Zergling rate of attack): 200/200, requires Hive

Hydralisk Den
The Hydralisk Den, as its name suggests, allows the production and support of Hydralisks. Dedicated (like most Zerg buildings) to a unit, it allows two Hydralisk-specific upgrades in StarCraft and a third one in the Brood War expansion. Both basic upgrades (speed and range) are quite useful, as the Hydralisk is considered by most to be the backbone unit of the Zerg forces. The Brood War-only upgrade is the Lurker aspect evolution, which allows the Hydralisk to go back into its egg form and re-emerge as a Lurker.
 * Cost: 100/50
 * Hotkey: D
 * Available Upgrades
 * Leg Enhancements(Increases Hydralisk movement speed): 150/150
 * Grooved Spines(Greater Hydralisk attack range): 150/150

Evolution Chamber
The Zerg ground unit upgrades can be found here. They are: carapace, melee attacks, and ranged attacks. The second levels of each upgrade can only be achieved with a Lair, and the third levels can only be researched with a Hive.
