The Life Sciences Building

Intended to exploit the latest achievements in digital interactive technology, all classrooms and laboratories will be wired for Internet access and audio-visual presentations. The major lecture halls will have digital conferencing hardware and software for distance-learning capabilities. The 250-seat auditorium, 125-seat lecture hall, two 60-seat classrooms, and two 35-seat classrooms will be equipped with power and telecommunications ports at every seat.

Research labs are designed for a multidisciplinary environment. All research areas and faculty offices have windows. Passages between labs are used to foster interaction and a sense of openness. Natural woods in the labs and classrooms soften the spaces.
