Capitalizing on a four-decade legacy of
leadership and innovation in science education, Smith College is building
a science and engineering facility that will intentionally blur the
boundaries between traditional disciplines, creating an optimum environment
for students and faculty to address key scientific and technological
developments of our time. Both a structure and a symbol, the new home
for the Picker Engineering Program, computer science, chemistry, biochemistry,
and molecular biology will be a compelling, visible statement of Smith’s
public identity as the women’s college with the strongest programs
in science and engineering. Ford Hall is named in honor of the lead
donor to the project, the Ford Motor Company Fund. Through its Advanced
Education Program, the Ford Fund supports programs that emphasize diversity
in engineering and business and linking classroom learning with real-world
projects and issues.
