It will be adjacent to the Health and Human Services Building, which opened in 2008. The facility will provide a new home for such science related disciplines as natural sciences, biology, physics, chemistry, general science and environmental sciences, and will also support programs for dentistry, medicine, and pharmacy training. It will house 24 labs, a lecture hall, an open computer lab, two general classrooms, three computer lab classrooms, a nanotechnology research lab and a research greenhouse.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe new Science and Technology Center reflects a remarkable transformative power at Coppin. The new state-of-the-art-facility will enable access to cutting edge, high performance sciences and technology education that would allow the wide range of teaching, learning and research activity,\u201d said Dr. Patel Maqbool, associate vice-president for administration and finance, in a statement. \u201cIt is designed to integrate fields of study with high social and community impact, a major addition to our beautifully growing urban campus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The STC will be a four-story concrete building with 150,332 square feet of space. Its architectural design includes sleek lines and a modern fa\u00e7ade, different from the buildings in the surrounding area, which have typical brick facades with rectilinear building footprints. Coppin State University officials hope the new building will help improve student recruitment and faculty retention. Enrollment at Coppin State has been sagging in recent years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cCoppin students will have competitive access to the learning environment [that is] so crucial for their academic and professional careers. The STC not only impacts the student body but also contributes to economic development, a sustainable environment and quality of life in West Baltimore,\u201d Dr. Maqbool added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Construction of the new building is expected to cost about $80 million. Lt. Governor Anthony Brown\u2019s office told the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/baltimore\/news\/2013\/05\/14\/coppin-state-science-technology-center.htmlhttps:\/\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><em>Baltimore Business Journal<\/em><\/a> that the total cost of the project is expected to be about $121 million and that it will be entirely covered by the state.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Cannon Design is the project\u2019s architect, and the Barton Malow Company is construction manager. The STC is expected to be completed by January 2015. It is designed to achieve LEED Gold certification.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cannondesign.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><em>Photo credits: Cannon Design.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Tuesday, May 14, Coppin State University hosted a formal groundbreaking for its new Science and Technology Center(STC).
