Science Complex

Wellesley College, Wellesley, Massachusetts

The renovated and expanded Science Complex at Wellesley College includes new offices, meeting areas, classrooms, a renovated vivarium, and core research spaces. The Innovation Hub, a cluster of interdisciplinary teaching labs, provides space to explore new pedagogies and put scientific work on display. The Data Lab is home to a growing field of data-driven research that will revitalize the existing science library. Finally, the Center for the Environment—comprising the greenhouses, gardens, and Global Flora collections —has become the headquarters for campus-wide initiatives on sustainability, ecology, and the environment.
