To enhance the visibility of the science department, laboratories include large windows which can open onto the atrium, allowing learning activities and experiments being conducted to be visible from outside the rooms. Geology and biology labs are designed as limited wet labs with the wet lab bench and fume hood placed along the room's perimeter. Student work stations in the center of the room consist of four fixed tables serviced with power and data from the floor and a number of moveable tables that can receive power and data connections from adjoining fixed tables, allowing for easy rearrangement of student benches in four pre-designed configurations.

The facility's mechanical system complies with the safety, environmental and flexibility issues of the building. A simple constant-volume system, terminating in dual, rooftop, direct-drive centrifugal fans, discharges into a tall stack. The 4,000-fpm exit velocity protects against contamination of air intake by nearby windows. A single variable-speed, variable-volume air unit supplies the entire building. Variable laboratory room exhaust tracks the air supply in each space, ensuring continuous safety while maximizing energy conservation.
