UConn STEM Research Center - Science 1
A key STEM expansion goal of the University of Connecticut (UConn) 2015 campus master plan was implemented to create a unique setting for the new 190,000 square foot Science 1 building while at the same time, addressing longstanding campuswide stormwater runoff issues. The building is surrounded by 12 acres situated at the periphery of the main campus and adjacent to natural woodland. The site serves as an interface between academic life and the natural surroundings.
