Science Center
Overview
For more than 100 years, Azusa Pacific University has trained and challenged students to actively engage in the issues of the day with a Christ-centered worldview. Nowhere is this more important today, and as we look to the future, than in the sciences. The need for trained scholars and practitioners in science and medicine has never been greater, and the engagement of faith and science never so important.
APU’s new Science Center, at a cost of $54 million, will be the latest signature building on campus, and serves as the centerpiece of current capital projects. This center represents more than just a first-class, 71,000-square-foot, three-story facility that will be an epicenter for transformational scholarship, but a statement of intent to the future, a pledge to provide the best resources to students, and a commitment to the regional and national community.
Located on Foothill Boulevard on West Campus, the Science Center is scheduled to open in summer 2009, and will house the Department of Biology and Chemistry and the Department of Mathematics and Physics, along with research and teaching components for the School of Nursing and Department of Physical Therapy.
The facility will include a 90-seat lecture hall, 23 discipline-specific classrooms, 3 general-purpose classrooms, 37 teaching and research laboratories, NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) and electron microscope rooms, an animal research facility, faculty offices, student study and community areas, and APU’s Center for Research in Science.
