The University of Scranton in Pennsylvania, US recently celebrated the dedication of the EYP Architecture & Engineering-designed Loyola Science Center, one of the country’s most innovative science buildings.

The Center’s layout provides a physical space that encourages integration among the traditional science, technology, engineering and mathematics programs, as well as the humanities, to drive the development of new teaching methods and engage students in practices that will prepare them for future challenges. Designed to meet LEED Silver certification, the facility also incorporates a dynamic, modern design that includes visible glass-walled laboratories, and is one of a kind in the way it advances collaboration among students with different interests.
