One of the newest buildings on campus is Bonney Science Center, which features cutting-edge teaching and research spaces for chemistry, biology, and neuroscience. Created with extensive input from Bates professors, the building celebrates “science on display.” Students moving through the building can see inside the various teaching spaces and research labs. More than a science building, Bonney is a new community hub with classrooms and study space for all to use. The building will encourage hands-on student engagement, and facilitate cutting edge research by professors and students and collaborations across disciplines — everything that epitomizes 21st-century science research, not just at a college, but at major research labs around the world.
