Why Now?

Since the last renovation to Fisher Hall in 1990, we have experienced healthy student enrollment gains. Over the same period, the national science instruction landscape shifted significantly. Consider:

• Fisher now accommodates nearly 45 percent more students than the 1990 renovation was envisioned to support. This is due to a 36 percent increase in enrollment and a higher percentage of students declaring a science major. We anticipate another 16 percent enrollment increase over the next few years.
• As a result, we are under increasing pressure to provide more space, especially to support research opportunities for students and faculty.
• Much of our existing space does not support the collaborative teaching and learning techniques that are at the foundation of our programs and contemporary science educational practices nationally.
