Texas Tech University opened the $112.5 million Academic Sciences Building in Lubbock in August of 2024. Enhancing the student experience with new venues for active learning and exchange, the 130,000-sf facility was designed by BGK Architects and EYP Architecture & Engineering (now a Page company). The three-story structure provides teaching and laboratory space for five departments: chemistry and biochemistry, physics and astronomy, biological sciences, geosciences, and psychological sciences.
Located in the STEM epicenter of campus, the interdisciplinary project offers four core labs including BSL-2 and BSL-3 suites, a cleanroom, and a human sampling center. The Academic Science Building also includes state-of-the-art classrooms, modern research settings, faculty offices, and areas for informal interaction. Western Builders was the general contractor for the development, which broke ground in December of 2021.
