Science Complex Phase 2 construction began in March 2005
as scheduled. Science Complex Phase 2A construction was complete
as of June 2006 with full operational occupancy in September
2006. Construction on Phase 2B was substantially complete
as of March 19, 2007. Ancillary project work and Axelrod building
lab and office relocation will occur throughout the summer
of 2007.

In the Fall of 2004, the Science Complex Phase 1 was completed.
Molecular & cellular biology and chemistry teaching and research
labs became fully operational at that time.
|
|
|
| |
The Science Complex is located on Gordon Street and Phase
2 will be attached to the MacNaughton building, which houses
part of the College of Physical and Engineering Science.
The complex is located south of the Reynolds Building, home
of the Department of Computing and Information Science.
|
|
|
| |
The Science Complex will centralize the physical, biological
and computational sciences on campus, providing new laboratory
space and first-class research space for chemistry, biochemistry,
molecular & cellular biology, zoology, botany and genetics.
|
|
|
| |
Designed by Robbie/Young+Wright Architects Inc., the Science
Complex will seamlessly integrate teaching and research activities
across disciplines within state-of-the-art facilities.

The building's triangular shape opens up a major courtyard
between the front of the building and Reynolds Walk. It also
creates an interior courtyard, covered by skylights that would
be the center of activity for the entire complex. Opportunities
for food and beverage services are being explored, and other
plans include an amphitheatre for presentations, and information
commons and workspaces for students.
|
|
|
|
|
The Science Complex will accommodate approximately 2,600
faculty, students and staff from the College of Biological
Science and from part of the College of Physical and Engineering
Science. Undergraduate teaching laboratories and research
labs for each of the departments will be located in close
proximity to encourage exchange between the two.
