Center for Sciences & Innovation

A series of collaborative spaces connect lower-level students with upper-level peers, encouraging mentorship and inspiration. At its core, the double-height "Cube" merges classroom and lab experiences, surrounded by garage-style workspaces with movable benchtops, whiteboards, and digital displays for adaptable, hands-on discovery.

Operable glass walls and overhead garage doors blur the boundaries between learning and making, bringing student projects into public view and creating an interactive, idea-driven hub. The space's flexible design and real-world application empower students to think, model, and make, shaping the next generation of problem-solvers and innovators.

At the start of Phase Two, Page explored four master plan schemes to create the best-fit solution for a unified science and engineering hub. The final design achieves three key goals:

Fostering interdisciplinary collaboration by integrating all scientific and engineering disciplines.

Showcasing scientific discovery, increasing visibility, and engaging the broader campus.

Enhancing safety, particularly in the Moody Engineering Sciences building.

Trinity’s 116,000-net-square-foot complex redefines science education through strategic new construction and major renovations. The design eliminates silos, creating an environment where engineering and sciences converge. Glass-walled labs and open research spaces put discovery on display, making STEM disciplines more accessible.

This state-of-the-art facility houses teaching and research spaces for Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Engineering, Geology, and Psychology, connecting them to Mathematics, Physics & Astronomy, and Geosciences in the revitalized Cowles Hall. By prioritizing integration, visibility, and innovation, Trinity offers its students an opportunity to lead at the forefront of interdisciplinary research.
