Construction began on the three-story 85,600 square-foot Science Center in November 2003 and was completed in the summer of 2005. Originally, the project was an addition and renovation of Holl Kintner Hall of Science, built in 1959. But costs and other considerations transformed the project into a state-of-the-art facility right across the mall.
The north wings of the Science Center are filled with classrooms, laboratories, study areas, and faculty offices. The south end is home to the Physicians Atrium, Flory Auditorium, rooftop greenhouses and seminar rooms.
Mathematics, Computer Science and Physics share the first floor. Biology, Ecology, Physiology and General Science occupy the second floor. Chemistry encompasses the third floor. Glassed study areas and faculty offices on the second and third floors face the campus mall. A three-story lobby on the south end is a dramatic commons and gallery that is a highly visible main entrance to the facility.
