Weber State University will begin construction in June of 2014 on the 175,000-sf Tracy Hall Science Center in Ogden, Utah. Supported by $57.4 million in state funding and a $5 million philanthropic contribution, the facility will house all eight departments of the College of Science in a single location. The project design principles spell out the word ‘science’: sustainability, connectedness, inviting, engaging, nature, comfortable, and exploration. The collaborative facility will provide labs, classrooms, faculty offices, an atrium, an observatory dome, a greenhouse, and student study space. The project was designed by VCBO Architects of Salt Lake City with RFD (Research Facilities Design) of San Diego as the laboratory programming and design consultant. A minimum requirement of LEED Silver sustainable design certification will be sought for the project. Completion is expected in June of 2016.
