Science 4 Renovation Phase 1

A project to renovate the east side of Science 4 began in early March. The project area has been fenced off, with a staging area for equipment and supplies. Pedestrian detours are in place. Faculty and staff who work in this space have been re-located to other facilities on campus. Initial work will focus on construction of a new elevator tower and entrance along with in-fills on the north side of the building.
The project involves the complete renovation of the east side of Science 4, creating new facilities for psychology including laboratories; department, faculty and staff offices; restrooms; and a new elevator. The building exterior will be re-clad and there will be a new entrance. Building perimeter windows and the roof will be replaced and energy efficiency will be improved. Completion of the project is scheduled for summer 2018.
