Chapman University opened the $130 million Keck Center for Science and Engineering in late August of 2018 in Orange, Calif. Housing the Schmid College of Science and Technology, the three-story, 140,000-sf facility accommodates programs in biology, chemistry, biochemistry, physics, math, computational science, food science, psychology, and health science. Spacious teaching and research spaces are grouped strategically by discipline, with students and faculty moving seamlessly between classroom and lab. Designed by AC Martin and built by C.W. Driver, the center offers a BSL-2 suite, a radioisotope room, conference rooms, faculty offices, collaboration areas, and a computational science lab. Ground was broken on the project in April of 2016. The wing accommodating the Fowler School of Engineering will open in fall of 2020.
