项目概述
The new 生物科学 building will be located in the heart of campus, nestled in the science quad adjacent to the Mills-Godwin building, the Webb Center and the Oceanography and Physical Sciences building. Contractors will demolish the Alfriend Chemistry Building, 普雷特洛天文馆, and the Arthur and Phyllis 卡普兰兰花温室 to build the new five-story facility that will house the Department of 生物科学, the new Arthur and Phyllis 卡普兰兰花温室, and state-of-the-art classrooms teaching labs, research labs and the 理学院 Dean’s Office Suite. The site is located adjacent to and will engage with an existing stormwater pond as a focus of integrating the building and site creating a teaching landscape. With this transformative building, ODU的学生, 教师, and those in the community will be able to experience science on an immersive level.
院长的话
The new 生物科学 building will exemplify the outstanding educational and research opportunities available to the ODU community. The many students who take courses in 生物科学 will enjoy state-of-the art teaching laboratories and classrooms, along with resources to support student success and inviting spaces for gathering with friends. 教师 will have cutting-edge research laboratories and core equipment to support their research. 一起工作, 教师 and students will transform the educational experience, 强调实践, 实用, 以及有影响力的项目.
We look forward to increased collaborative research with the 教师 and students in the Macon and Joan Brock Virginia 健康 Sciences Center, enabled by the flexible space in this building. We are especially excited about the new 卡普兰兰花温室, which will be included with a spectacular display house for exotic plants. The area outside the building around the pond will be landscaped to provide a beautiful place for events. The building is located in the heart of the sciences quad and has four fronts - every entrance has been designed for optimal aesthetic views.
We need your help to support the high-quality educational programs made possible by the new building. Please consider naming a space in the building or establishing a new scholarship to allow more students to benefit from these opportunities. There are many ways for you to make a difference!

Message From the Department Chair
I am thrilled to share with you the exciting news that we are about to start the process of building a new 生物科学 building! The new facility has been designed with the needs of our students, 教师, and staff in mind.
It features state-of-the-art classrooms, 协作工作空间, and cutting-edge laboratories that will greatly enhance our teaching and research capabilities. We will also have a natural history museum, 研究温室空间, and a core facility for share equipment. This building will not only provide a modern and inspiring environment but also foster a sense of community and collaboration among us all.
The focus on research capabilities will reshape dynamic and immersive learning spaces and overall experiences for everyone who will use this facility. This new facility is a turning point for ODU, and we are beyond excited to see it come to reality.
