Dordt to Dedicate $12 Million Science and Technology Center

October 14, 2014

Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa will be dedicating its newly renovated $12 million Science and Technology Center on Saturday, October 18, from 10:30 to 11 a.m.

The ceremony will take place in the lobby of the building.

Following a presentation by Dordt leaders and students, tours will be given of the building.

Groundbreaking took place in May 2013, and the first phase of construction was completed before classes began this fall.

To foster interdisciplinary interaction across campus, a two-story addition connects the current science building to the classroom building.

The new addition contains faculty offices, technology-enabled classrooms, computer-learning labs, an engineering wing, greenhouse, informal learning spaces, and areas for public presentation and display of ongoing work.

Dordt is now beginning fundraising for the final phase of construction, set to be completed in 2015. Still to be completed are new and renovated classroom and lab spaces for chemistry, biology, environmental studies, and construction management, as well as a new astronomy observatory and renovation of the current agriculture and physics laboratories.

Finally, the Science and Technology Center will be connected to the Campus Center via a skywalk to create a fully integrated and connected academic complex.
