Project Description

This project accomplishes tandem renovations of deteriorated facilities, made possible by the recent completion of the Chemical Sciences Laboratory project. (That new facility allows for the sequential vacating and major renovation of these two buildings.)

The Chemistry-Geology building served as the main wet lab center since 1960. Environmental Health and Safety regulations mandate the total abatement of this facility, which is only practical when vacant. This was the key justification for the new Chemical Sciences Laboratory project. The renovated space provides lecture and upper-division lab space, and faculty and administrative offices for Chemistry, Geology, Mathematics and Computer Science. An added penthouse also houses the offices of the dean of the College of Sciences. The renovation includes a new façade more in keeping with mission style architecture predominant on campus. Added benefits are improved HVAC and energy efficiencies.

After the above functions relocated, BAM underwent partial renovation to accommodate the College of Education and other campus needs.
