Reimagining a traditional educational institution, the 42,000 SF renovation of the second floor of McCarthy Hall introduces daylight and a sense of place to the Biology and Geology departments. Spaces include department offices, teaching and research labs, a cadaver lab, and an animal facility. Open, informal learning space throughout the floor provides students with areas to study, meet, and learn. Hallways, niches, and open space reach to the exterior in order to drive natural light as far into the center as possible. Integrated display cabinets and full-height glass walls with views into the classrooms reinforce the goal to put science on display.
