St. Lawrence's largest construction project ever, the Johnson Hall of Science, features two interconnected
buildings of three floors each, plus a partially earth-sheltered
lower level. The project is connected to the existing Bewkes
Hall of Science via three glass walkways.

Science Phase II Begins
Bewkes Family pledges $2 million for reonovations to Bewkes Hall, Phase II of our science renovation and construction project began in 2008.
Phase II will include renovations to Bewkes, Valentine and Flint Halls. The first steps in Phase II will be construction of a receiving center to be accessed by all science departments, interim renovations to Valentine and Flint Halls to accommodate programs over the next three to five years; basic renovations to Bewkes to house arts faculty and some classes as renovations to Griffiths are under way next year; and creation of a permanent home for the Quantitative Resource Center in Valentine.

Johnson Hall of Science Details
The 130,000-square-foot project includes modern, spacious state-of-the-art facilities:
- Teaching labs
- Research labs
- Conference rooms
- Departmental and individual faculty offices
- Informal student spaces
Specific spaces include:
- An ethnobotany teaching lab
- A microscopy imagery center
- A greenhouse
- A vivarium
- A bioinformatics classroom
- A Center of Chemical and Molecular Biology
- A Center for Animal Behavior Study
- The Richard '64 and Gail Stradling Organic Chemistry Suite, which incorporates an organic teaching lab with hood space for all students, an instrument and NMR facility and a seminar room.
The project benefits several of St. Lawrence's science departments,
as well as two new and popular interdisciplinary majors,
biochemistry and neuroscience. Three departments share
space in the new building:
- Biology, allowing every student the chance to engage in student-faculty collaborative research.
- Chemistry, providing safe and inviting laboratory environs for investigative learning.
- Psychology, providing integrated classrooms and labs more conducive to hands-on learning.
Phase I permits much-needed expansion
into the vacated space and modernization by several other departments:
- Geology, to make possible clustered faculty/student research space and a GIS lab.
- Mathematics, Computer Science and Statistics, to allow it to better serve students not just in that department but throughout the curriculum.
- Physics, to support more research-based teaching and learning.
