The James B. McNeer Hall Science and Technology Building is the first new academic building on the campus since the college was founded in 1960. The approximately 53,000-square-feet, three-story building is home to biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics classrooms and laboratories; academic computing facilities; seminar rooms; faculty and administrative offices; and faculty and student lounges. The new building completes and serves as a terminus for the academic quadrangle on the south campus. The curved façade provides visibility of the main entrance to pedestrians crossing Carson Road from the north campus, on axis with a primary pedestrian thoroughfare from the east. Classrooms, laboratories, and offices within the building enjoy views of the preserved pine forest to the west and the academic quadrangle to the east.
