Project Description The new Math+Science Complex will be a four‐story building providing a new home for degree and certificate programs in Biology, Chemistry, Physical Sciences and Mathematics. The 206,000 gross square feet building will consist of classrooms, computer classrooms, teaching lab classrooms and faculty, staff and administrative support space. Specialty spaces will include a greenhouse and astronomy observation center. Exterior landscaping will include globally‐themed gardens, such as an Australian Garden and South African Garden. The project is on track to obtain a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification from the United States Green Building Council (USGBC).

Sustainable Features The project maximizes the use of sustainable materials and materials with high recycled content. All wood surfaces in the building will be made up of caramelized bamboo, a 100% sustainable resource since it does not require replanting after harvesting. It is extremely durable and is tougher than typical hardwood surfaces. Linoleum flooring, a natural material made from linseed oil, is used extensively throughout the building. The project maximizes use of natural lighting which reduces energy demands from artificial lighting, and helps to reduce eyestrain and increase productivity. All windows utilize ‘high performance’ glass that allows sunlight to filter into the building, but reduces the amount of UV light and solar heat entering the building. All walls and roof areas are highly insulated, helping to conserve energy resources and making the building more comfortable by maintaining a healthy and uniform temperature.
