Arts and Sciences Building
CHALLENGE
In the 44 years since our building was constructed, much has changed in the sciences. Our Science Center was built to accommodate Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. We're now teaching subjects that were research-level four decades ago - Molecular Biology, Materials Science, Environmental Science, and Robotics. Additional course offerings coupled with increased enrollment have exerted significant strains on space and schedules. Biology and Chemistry share cramped lab spaces, dissections occur outdoors because of poor ventilation, and Materials Science class is left to meet in whichever lab might be available. Lower School Robotics students must construct, program, and operate their robots in half of a classroom.

OPPORTUNITY
We provide leading-edge science courses, and our students and faculty will benefit from commensurate classroom, lab, and office spaces. A new Science Center with expanded lab space will afford students more opportunities for experiments, research, and robotics construction and programming, giving them an even greater advantage in college-level science and engineering. Flexibility of space will allow teachers across disciplines to collaborate and create projects that span the curriculum. A well-designed, contemporary building will also demonstrate to visitors our dedication to the advancement of the science disciplines.
