Features:
  • 22,000 s.f. addition
  • studio and lab space
  • integrated technology
  • ​program support space
  • ​flexible furnishings
Four stories tall and circular, the new 22,000 sf addition houses classrooms, offices and labs in science-related fields, including environmental studies, physics and neuroscience. The studios and labs create future-focused learning environments that provide ultimate flexibility, allowing students to work individually, in small groups or as an entire class. The integrated technology helps students explore possibilities and then easily share them with the entire class. Lecture halls have whiteboard-painted walls and personal dry-erase boards on each desk to help foster each student’s creativity and provide a place to try new ideas, fail quickly, and learn even faster. 
 

Explore the spaces in 360°.

Seeing that we have updated labs is amazing because it will give us so many opportunities to expand our education and be the top of the class against other schools.

- Elizabeth Rath, Biology Student
