Update on the Construction of the New Applied Science Center

We are happy to say that the construction of the new Applied Sciences Center is going well! We just had a "Topping Off Ceremony" on Thursday, August 10th. A steel beam, that had been available to students, staff, and faculty to sign, was ceremoniously placed within the building infrastructure. In the meanwhile, construction continues which you will be able to see as you enter and exit the North and South Science buildings on your way to and from your science and math courses. You are also welcome to view the progress of the construction in real time at: https://app.truelook.cloud/?code=9mjywpzwejdv6z5lxq8xzdzle. The Applied Sciences Center is scheduled to open in 2024 and we are looking forward to it! In the meanwhile, to find out more about the activities and personnel to be housed in this building as well as the role this center will play at the university, please click on the link below.
