Peale Science Center
Completion Date August 2003
Published March 2001
Building on a longstanding excellence in the Sciences, Hope College will expand their Peale Science Center through an addition and renovation process. This two-step construction effort includes design of a new 90,000-sf facility and renovation of the 90,000-sf Peale Hall.
Primary objectives include co-location of the Sciences with Nursing and Psychology, continuing the excellence of teaching and research, and creating campus-wide facilities that link to the Sciences, including classrooms, conference center, museum, and an outreach center.
The new building creates a quad for all of the sciences at the college and creates a main entry from the town's main square. Stylistically, it references the Dutch architecture of the campus in a modern idiom, and is composed of brick and limestone. A central commons provides a living room for the sciences to encourage social and academic interaction.

The cost figures reported are supplied by the firms that submitted these
projects for publication, which in most cases are the designers or builders.
Whereas these sources are intimately familiar with their projects, they may
not be fully aware of the owners' finally-realized and recorded costs. In some
cases, costs are truly and completely accounted for, and in others they represent
a near approximation of the final costs. Costs have not been adjusted for
year of construction, nor has any attempt been made to make regional cost
adjustments.
Further, costs are not comparable on any kind of detailed standard costing model.
Hence, it is possible for the cost of one building to include a steam boiler, while
the cost of a comparable building might not include the boiler, if steam is being
supplied from an already existing campus grid. Or, in another case, a building might
include excess boiler capacity to supply steam to another building. Some submittals
include fees or unusual site improvements as part of the construction costs, which
others do not.
