About the Science Center
Unique characteristics of the design of this building include:

complete faculty involvement in laboratory and classroom design

an open approach to make science activity visible

four different types of student public/study area: enclosed small rooms, common rooms, open study areas and the atrium

wireless computer capability throughout the building as well as 1,300 wired network jacks

an organization with teaching labs on one side of the hallway and research labs on the other, organized "communities" to maximize efficiency for access to lab and support areas

"atriette" stairway areas providing vertical connections between disciplines More ...
