Education and Science Center

With more than 150,000 square feet, the three-level $23.1 million Education and Science Center is comprised of two wings and became the largest building on campus in 2003.

The Science Center expansion, called the Torrington Science Wing, joins the northwest side of the original Science Center and provides additional space for the Pott School of Science and Engineering. The Education Wing connects to the Torrington Science Wing and is home to the Bower-Suhrheinrich School of Education and Human Services, Department of Teacher Education, University Division, and Academic Skills.

In addition to classrooms and other amenities, the two new wings house research laboratories, offices, computer labs, a tutoring arena, a rooftop greenhouse, three stair towers, an OSHA-compliant chemical storeroom, an atrium, the 150-seat Couch/Renner Lecture Hall, and two indoor wells for groundwater monitoring.
