The Science complex alone will cost $58 million. Of this, $20M comes from the $165M capital campaign. The remaining funds from of the campaign will be used for refreshing the old buildings, improving faculty salaries and other campus expansion.

We heard a talk by Professor Norm Craig on science facilities in the last 100 years. When Harry Jewett was the chemistry professor, he had the entire building to himself, and Charles Martin Hall was his only student. |
| After a detonation and "explosion," they turned the first shovels of imported dirt right there in the field house. | |

And the final building will look like this model. (Photo
