Chapman University broke ground on the $130 million Center for Science and Technology in late April of 2016 in Orange, Calif. Accommodating the Schmid College of Science and Technology and the Crean College of Health and Behavioral Sciences, the three-story, 140,000-sf facility will provide advanced teaching and research space for biology, chemistry, biochemistry, physics, math, computational science, food science, psychology, and health science. Comprising two structures, the project includes a pedestrian arcade connecting the Hall of Science and the Hall of Technology and Engineering. The center will provide 20 research and teaching labs, a BSL-2 suite, a radioisotope room, conference rooms, faculty offices, collaboration space, and a computational science lab with a supercomputing room. Completion is expected in June of 2018.
