This new and modern building will serve as an anchor for the College’s STEM programs. The facility will feature at least four modern lecture rooms, ten high-tech integrated classrooms/labs, six additional advanced labs, and new spaces where faculty and students can collaborate and explore. Its construction features will also include science themes and interactive displays immersing all who enter the structure into a world of science. This will be a place where the spark of scientific inquiry and the spirit of service will be nurtured while students and faculty work together to reveal answers and propose new questions that can further scientific achievement.
For more than 125 years, Snow College has built a legacy of strong academics. Evidence of this tradition is apparent in the Science and Mathematics Division, where students engage in dynamic learning experiences. These students receive an experience seldom found at larger colleges or universities. Small class sizes, highly credentialed faculty, and experiential laboratories engage students in a high-touch learning environment. A hallmark of Snow’s legacy is to help students achieve their academic success when they depart, regardless of their academic standing when they first enrolled. As a result, our students are very well prepared to transfer to four-year institutions and enter the workforce.
The Science Center Campaign will help provide our campus community with a much-needed new facility that better reflects the quality of our faculty and students. Our current science building was constructed in 1972 when the College’s total enrollment was 708 students. Our current enrollment is approximately 4,700 students. Despite our outdated and overcrowded facilities, we have developed exceptional science programs. Obviously, we have done much with less since the 1970s. By modernizing this facility, we expect to continue our success by coupling the best teaching practices with state-of-the-art technology.
