CHANGING THE FACE OF SCIENCE & ENGINEERING

Ford Hall: A Center Made for Teaching

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.

Smith’s existing science laboratory facilities date from the 1960s. Recent studies have shown that, when compared to peer institutions, the sciences at Smith have a deficit of 46,000 square feet of space, excluding engineering, to meet existing program needs. The college’s science expansion plans will address this space shortage as well as the need for effective, safe facilities for student and faculty research.
