Thomas Family Health & Science Center

The Thomas Family Health and Science Center serves students by sparking innovation and learning in STEM fields. This building is home to the biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, mathematics, engineering, nursing, and pre-medicine programs. Our hands-on programs give students access to patient simulators, drones, cadavers, a vivarium, and even NASA rockets. The Foucault pendulum that is featured at the entrance of the building was designed by engineering students as their senior project. Once, when a part broke, a professor fixed it with a Lego piece. On your way out of the building, you’ll see Ivan the polar bear – the unofficial mascot of the science students. This building also has state-of-the-art lab space which students use for both classes and summer research they conduct alongside professors.
