Berea College’s new undergraduate STEM initiative will celebrate not only learning in the traditional sciences of biology, chemistry, physics, and environmental studies, along with math, but will consolidate these groups with Nursing, in support of a realignment of their academic divisions and the opportunity to explore the intersection of science and health.

Building on Ballinger’s study, which included programming and site selection/planning, the new building will provide a landmark presence upon approaching the campus from the north, blending a contextual Georgian exterior character with a daylight-infused, transparent, contemporary interior environment of flexible pedagogy.
