Watch the Johnson Hall of Science emerge through these construction photos, changed every couple of weeks, thanks to Photographers Tom Budd (professor of biology and project shepherd) and Tara Freeman. Last update: March 26, 2007

Tthe second floor student interaction area in the west wing, south.

The connections to Bewkes Hall on the second and third floors are almost completed

Our special light fixtures will enhance the view of the numerous display boards that will line the hallways.

The casework installation on the third floor is almost complete. Gray countertops will help reflect the day lighting in the room (as opposed to the traditional black surface that adsorbs the light).

Johnson Hall will have wireless Internet access but we also installed hardwired jacks throughout to handle expected heavy traffic, especially if there are multiple users in a classroom or lab trying to do the same task.  As wireless technology improves, we will discontinue use of the jacks. The photo above shows patch panels for jacks that are installed throughout the building.

Cage washer for the vivarium. A bottle washer will go to the left of this washer and a stainless steel wall will divide the "dirty side" from the "clean side" of the room.
