The Louise C. Buhl Hall of Sciences, originally built in 1930, last renovated in 1966, is one of the main buildings located on the "old academic quad." The project scope included a complete renovation of the existing 19,000-sf Buhl Hall and a 22,000-sf addition. A major design consideration involved amalgamating the modern addition with the rehabilitated, original Georgian building in a manner that was respectful yet evocative of the revitalized sciences. The completed facility includes teaching laboratories for biology, anatomy, ecology, botany, physiology, chemistry, physics and geology, research facilities, shared instrument labs, an animal facility, faculty offices, seminar rooms, student study spaces, and a greenhouse.

The project also includes computer labs for the health sciences and math departments, as well as a 70-seat lecture hall for use by the entire campus. A feature atrium connects all levels of the building and overlooks the Rachel Carson garden while providing a gathering space for special events. A 9' by 12' Tiffany Window that was commissioned by the alumnae of the 1880s, and has been in storage since the 1920s, was restored and will be featured in the atrium as a connection to the Chatham legacy of the past.

This project symbolizes both the revitalization of the College and its dedication to educating young women in the Sciences.
