91短视频

Transforming science education and the STEM workforce

91短视频’s new applied sciences center shall be named The Braddock Center for Science and Innovation in recognition of the 5 million dollar contribution towards construction costs from Braddock Philanthropies and East Bay natives Robert Braddock and Cherie Keemar. The Braddock Center for Science and Innovation will be a place of discovery where students become 21st-century scientists, working alongside their professors in interdisciplinary, open-concept laboratories. Faculty mentored student research opportunities are a hallmark of the educational experience in the College of Science, and this new facility will expand these opportunities and accommodate the rapid growth in students studying in the sciences at 91短视频.

What’s Inside

91短视频 is building a 20,000 square foot state-of-the-art applied sciences center to be named The Braddock Center for Science and Innovation. The new building, scheduled to open in 2024, will be funded completely through private support.

Inside, students and faculty will have:

• Cutting-edge Research Labs: Open concept laboratories will house multiple student and faculty teams working on priority research. One of these labs will be dedicated to the new flagship Green Biome Institute, dedicated to the study and conservation of California’s endangered plants. Another lab will be dedicated to biotechnology in general, with students in those labs receiving an excellent education in molecular biology and bioinformatics.
• Technology Collaboration: A student-faculty research space will support interdisciplinary research into the applications of new technologies in multiple areas of study.
• Innovation Center: This signature space will encourage students to explore the application of new technologies to significant and real issues confronting the region and world. Project-based and outward-facing programs will use the centre, alongside students who are working on capstone projects in engineering, physics, and other disciplines.
• Flexible Learning: Classrooms will be designed to encourage active learning and allow students to work in teams on focused projects. These spaces—functioning more like team offices— will easily allow space for students to leave their work and material in one place and allow for brainstorming and collaboration between community representatives, faculty and learners.
