The Harry R. Brooks Complex for Science, Mathematics and Technology at Wilson College, completed in January, hopes to qualify for LEED certification. The $25 million, 76,500-sf facility, a renovation and expansion of the existing Paul Swain Havens Science Center, was managed by R.S. Mowery & Sons Inc., a general contractor in Mechanicsburg, Pa. Research Facilities Design (RFD) served as the laboratory building design consultant. A two-story atrium provides ample natural light to the building. Bricks from the Havens center were used in the new building’s façade. Traditional slate chalkboards are used in the auditorium instead of whiteboards and markers, a less environmentally friendly option. Showers are provided for those that bike to work. A greenhouse and a natural history museum are also housed in the Center.
