Colgate University completed construction of the 120,000-sf Robert Ho Science Center in Hamilton, N.Y. in October of 2007. The $56 million building houses the departments of environmental studies, geography, geology, physics, and astronomy, as well as part of the biology department. Designed by Shepley Bullfinch Richardson & Abbott, the center includes 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 and a spacious atrium to foster collaboration. The laboratory design consultant was Research Facilities Design (RFD). The project began construction in 2005.
