To foster collaborative, interdisciplinary science teaching, learning, and research, this LEED Gold Certified facility unites the renovated Haberlin with Beaven, O’Neil, and Swords Halls to create a state-of-the-art teaching and research complex for Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics.

New and renovated atria form a network of inviting public spaces to give the complex a connective spine, creating an expansive learning commons that has become a new hub of campus life. Transparent walls and strategic adjacencies put science on display for all to see. A variety of gathering places provide opportunities for study, casual conversation, and effective intellectual collisions across disciplines.

Sustainable design features including energy recovery wheels, variable air volume fume hoods, envelope improvements, and advanced lighting controls lower total energy consumption by more than 31 percent beyond the ASHRAE 90.1-2004 standard baseline.
