Wartburg College is expanding and renovating Becker Hall of Science. Currently housing the departments of biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics and physics, the existing 50,000-sf Becker Hall will be renovated to provide office, storage, and classroom facilities. The building currently houses instructional laboratories, a greenhouse, an animal room, a 100-seat auditorium, computer rooms and classrooms. The 55,000-sf addition will contain an auditorium, laboratories, and state-of-the-art technology for flexible classrooms/seminar rooms. Designed by Holabird & Root of Chicago, the renovation and expansion will promote increased student interaction by providing versatile spaces and small-group learning facilities.
