“This new building was designed from day one to be a place that draws students to the sciences. It provides not just a place to come and take classes, but to stick around and develop a sense of community. We want as many students as possible to see science as an exciting opportunity and as something that is available to them.” - Dean David Hassenzahl, PhD
