Colgate University is constructing the 119,000-sf Ho Science Center on its Hamilton, N.Y., campus. Slated for completion by September 2007, the $50-million building will house the environmental studies, geography, geology, physics, and astronomy departments, as well as part of the biology department.

Designed by Shepley Bullfinch Richardson & Abbott , the center will house 40 research labs, 45 faculty offices, 13 teaching labs, seven classrooms, a 90-seat lecture hall/auditorium, a 60-seat visualization lab, a museum, and a teaching/research greenhouse. Connected to the Chemistry and Life Sciences buildings by internal corridors, the facility is designed with a variety of common spaces, alcoves, and a spacious atrium to foster collaboration. Research Facilities Design is the laboratory building design consultant.
