The University of Scranton sought a sustainable facility to accommodate traditional science teaching and research as well as emerging cross-disciplinary programs. EYP’s design makes extensive use of high-efficiency glazing to reduce energy use, enhance visibility and views, and put science on display.

Strategic adjacencies of faculty offices, classrooms, laboratories, and study/lounges unite Chemistry, Biology, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics, and Electrical Engineering.

A new atrium at the heart of the facility encourages interaction among the sciences and linking them with the Campus Commons and the DeNaples Center and Green. The facility is expected to achieve LEED Silver Certification. The design respects the style and scale of the older areas of the campus, connecting the new science green more directly to campus life.
