Bowie State University opened the $102 million Center for Natural Sciences, Mathematics and Nursing in June of 2017 in Bowie, Md. Designed by Perkins+Will, the 149,000-sf facility provides a clinical simulation center, undergraduate teaching labs, a plant sciences greenhouse, and a three-story elliptical multipurpose space with 25,000 sf of dynamic window glazing. Supporting interactive STEM education programs in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, the center features glass-walled labs and classrooms and flexible learning spaces with movable walls and furnishings. The research suite includes a collaborative lab environment for chemistry, biology, and physics, with core labs for microscopy, spectrometry, and NMR imaging. LEED Gold sustainable design certification will be sought for the project, which was built by Clark Construction.
