Trustees Approve $5 Million Investment in Science and Engineering Facilities At its January 24 meeting, the University’s Board of Trustees approved a $5 million renovation and 25,000-square-foot facility expansion for science, engineering, and mathematics. According to President White, the University has secured $1.15 million. The original Science Center, built in 1973, underwent its last major expansion in 1991 to accommodate a growing nursing program and new engineering programs. Nursing has since relocated to the Health Sciences Center, leaving additional classroom and office space that can be renovated and expanded to address science and engineering facility needs for the next ten years and beyond. Phase One, beginning in May, will focus on human biology labs that are currently in the Engineering and Science building. When completed, students will learn in state-of-the-art gross anatomy, human st ruc ture and function, and anatomy and physiology labs dedicated to their respective functions. Phase Two will be more comprehensive as it includes t he relocat ion of t he University’s Physical Plant from the current Service Center to Harriman and South Halls on the south edge of campus. Campus Safety will set up its main office for serving students in the Stevens Student Center, and the grounds, automotive, and inventory departments will also relocate. Once vacated, the Service Center will be completely renovated to hold seven chemistry labs. Moving these labs to this building will allow the engineering department to expand within the Engineering and Science Center. Finally, four current classrooms will be renovated and become biomedical and mechanical engineering’s vibration labs and senior design computational labs. A barn, currently being used by the Grounds Department, will be transformed into engineering dirty labs for additional team and project manufacturing space. In all, the renovation project will provide 46,361 total square feet of academic space. As a result, students in science, engineering, and math will have top-flight academic facilities that will meet the growing enrollment and research needs of these programs for at least a decade.
