Fostering the next generation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Science Commons is the place the next generation will credit for the start of their science careers. Undergraduate and graduate students will work alongside world-renowned researchers as they tackle the universe\u2019s most perplexing questions. They will work in state-of-the-art spaces and their learning will be supported by the tools, equipment and resources to help them thrive. <\/div>

A science centre for southern Alberta<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The new building features exceptional laboratories, modern classrooms and dedicated spaces that will double the University\u2019s capacity for science outreach activities. It offers rich resources for lifelong learning, provides meeting places for citizens and the research community, supports schools and contributes to the cultural and economic vitality of communities. <\/div>

Science on display<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Science Commons design placed an emphasis on creating spaces with views. Exterior windows provide stunning views of the Lethbridge river bottom, the High Level Bridge and the uLethhbridge campus, inspiring the discoveries of the future. Floor-to-ceiling interior windows truly put science on display, showcasing the extraordinary work that happens in labs each and every day. <\/div>

Where science transcends disciplines <\/strong><\/h3>\n

No single discipline in science can answer all the questions.\u00a0That\u2019s why one of the major design principles in the Science Commons is to encourage and foster transdisciplinary research among the sciences.\u00a0The facility brings together faculty and students from Biochemistry, Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Neuroscience, Physics & Astronomy, and Psychology. By providing exceptional opportunities for collaboration and discovery, the new facility will challenge students and researchers to consider the wider implications of their work, helping define liberal education at uLethbridge for the 21st century. <\/div>

A building for the future<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Intentionally designed to enhance the University\u2019s sustainability, the Science Commons demonstrates Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and aims for Gold LEED Certification. The facility will help define the University\u2019s direction for the future. It will advance our region and province, providing incredible opportunities for generations to come. <\/div>
