Science Building (Finch-Gray Science Center)
The science building not only houses the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, but also the departments of biology, geoscience, and physics. Built in 1967, it has two stories, and integrates labs, classrooms, and faculty offices. Plans are underway to expand the building with a new wing in the near future. |
