"The new Carl J. Shapiro Science Center represents the keynote project in an ambitious expansion and renewal of the sciences at Brandies University. Phased new construction will generate 150,000 GSF of new research, teaching and instrumentation space. The new building will function as a catalyst for scientific innovation, interdisciplinary discourse and a renewed vibrancy of student and faculty activity. Envisioned as a sophisticated and expressive modern building it will house a multi-story atrium of interconnected bridges and open staircases creating a new “hub” of connectivity. The preceding Payette Science Center Master Plan outlined a phased approach to the evolution of the complex as a vital campus center of interdisciplinary scientific discourse, enhanced infrastructure to support modern scientific research, and opportunities to advance the value of Science to the broader community."—Payette
