New science building planned
An undergraduate science building could be built on campus in the near future.
"It would be an interdisciplinary, undergraduate science building," said Joe Heppert, associate professor of chemistry. "It is something that has been very, very high on the University's priority list."
The building would have science labs, computer facilities and lecture halls. Heppert said.
It would sit on the hillside between Malott and Wescoe halls, said Mary Burg, executive assistant to the chancellor.
None of the buildings in that area would be demolished to make room for the building. Burg said.
Rich Givens, associate provost, said in the Science Education Task Force's Dec. 20 meeting that a group was looking at finance possibilities for the building, whose cost has yet to be determined.
Graduate programs would stay in their present buildings, but construction of the science building would open up those buildings.
"I think that the space freed up in Malott, Lindley, Haworth and others would be used for a variety of purposes," Heppert said.
The science building was something that the University had looked into long before the task force was formed, Burg said.
Chancellor Robert Menenway formed the task force last fall to increase research and development in science education, improve public understanding of science and improve science education for K-12 students, undergraduates and science majors.
"What we're trying to tackle is the teaching and learning of science," Burg said. "And the building will help us do that."
In addition to constructing an all-science building, the task force sent a letter of intent on Jan. 20 to the National Science Foundation
regarding the University's grant proposal to develop a center for science education at the University. In March, the University will submit its proposal.
It is requesting approximately $3 million for the center, Heppert said. The proposal, titled "Surmounting Barriers to Inquiry Learning," focuses on overcoming barriers to inquiry-based K-12 science education.
"We're still putting the proposal together," said Jim Ellis, associate professor of teaching and leadership. "It's a long way off. But if we got it, we would use it to reinforce and support things we want to do."
Day of prayers for Northern Ireland
Shantel Ringler, Lawrence sophomore, performs an a cappella compilation of religious songs during yesterday's University Day of Prayer for Students service in Danforth Chapel. About 20 students and campus ministers gathered for the event. The day was organized by the World Student Christian Federation and was sponsored by Canterbury House, Lutheran Campus Ministry, Ecumenical Christian Ministries, University Christian Fellowship and the United Methodist Campus Ministry. During the ceremony, scripture was read in English, German and Spanish. Prayers for peace in Northern Ireland and for children estranged from their families were among the sentiments expressed.
