Our science and engineering students study in a state-of-the-art facility. Study and workspaces allow faculty and students from natural science, mathematics, and engineering disciplines to interact beyond the classroom as a "community of scholars." Lab and classroom space was designed to promote "minds-on, hands-on" learning rather than just "listen and watch" styles of traditional classrooms and lecture halls.
