Project Description

This project proposes to construct a new addition to the current Science Building that would consolidate Mathematics and Sciences programs. The project would provide programs adequate space for expansion while accommodating the projected program and enrollment growth. The Math Department is currently operating within a temporary facility, which does not provide the infrastructure to support the modern technology necessary for a successful educational delivery. Science programs are dispersed in four different locations on campus, preventing effective communication and sharing of resources among faculty, students and staff. Additionally, as indicated by low capacity/load ratios, deficiencies in lab space are not allowing the programs with heavy laboratory components, such as science, to provide adequate instructional space today or expand program offerings to meet enrollment growth in the future. Consolidating Mathematics and Science programs into the Science Building would encourage inter-disciplinary interaction and achieve goals outlined in the District’s Master Plan.
