After months of watching as the Lillard Science Center took shape on Middle Campus, students will now attend biology, chemistry, and physics classes in the addition this spring.

While classes are held in the new building, renovation of Johnson A, B, and D will take place. The renovation project is scheduled for completion by the beginning of the 2018-19 academic year. At that time, the environmental studies, psychology, and the new biochemistry and molecular biology program will move to the new facility.

Completing the move was helped, in large part, by a group of students who worked as moving assistants over winter break to get the building ready for the start of classes. Marko Simovic '21Associate Professor of Chemistry Dawn Wiser and Molly Major '19 work side-by-side setting up Wiser's lab in the new Lillard Science Center.
