The new Segerstrom Science Center represents a $54 million investment by APU in science facilities and equipment to benefit not only the growing number of math, science, and health students and faculty, but also the student population and surrounding community as a whole. The 72,000-square foot facility includes a 90-seat lecture hall, 26 classrooms, 37 teaching and research laboratories, NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) and electron microscope rooms, faculty offices, student study and community areas, and APU’s Center for Research in Science (CRIS).
