Elton B. Stephens Science Center

Birmingham-Southern College dedicated a new 100,000 square-foot, $24 million undergraduate science teaching and research facility on May 9, 2002. The state-of-the-art Elton B. Stephens Science Center houses the most current technology in classrooms, laboratories, and support areas for biology, chemistry, physics, psychology, and environmental science. There are more than 1,100 data port connections and computer-assisted instruction is available in the classrooms, which also are wired and include retractable projection screens. The classrooms also include multi-tiered blackboards. A nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer will be housed in the Science Center for use with investigative, problem-based laboratories, and independent research in the chemistry program.

Designed in consultation with the science faculty, the facility was planned around the College's science mission to foster collaborative, hands-on learning between students and faculty, interdisciplinary connections, and undergraduate research opportunities.

Each faculty member occupies one of the 25 offices, as well as one of the 25 research laboratories that provide more opportunities to work collaboratively with students on research projects and for students to participate in "doing" science. The center also houses 19 teaching laboratories, a computer lab, three lecture halls, three classrooms, two seminar rooms, and a greenhouse, among other areas.
