Reem-Kayden Center for Science and Computation 
This state-of-the-art, 69,000-square-foot science facility, home to the biology, chemistry, and computer science programs, opened in the fall of 2007. The Lynda and Stewart Resnick Science Laboratories wing opened in spring 2009. Designed by Rafael Vińoly Architects, a New York City firm, the dramatic, two-story building includes nearly 17,000 square feet of dedicated laboratory space. Biology equipment in the facility includes: DNA and protein electrophoresis instruments, a digital gel imaging system, an array of standard PCR machines, a Real-Time PCR machine, two fluorescent microscopes, and a wide array of ecology field equipment. Chemistry equipment in the facility includes: an advanced 400-MHz nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer (NMR), a liquid chromatograph/mass spectrometer and gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer. The Computer Science space includes a cognitive systems lab and a robotics lab. The Center houses an innovative exhibition system for both scientific posters and art. In addition, the building features the László Z. Bitó ’60 Auditorium, capable of seating 65 people; five "smart classrooms" that are set up for multimedia presentations, and two for videoconferencing; faculty offices; and a series of open spaces for studying, computer work, and informal meetings. The Center features geothermal heating and cooling, and an advanced energy recovery system through which all exhaust air from the building passes.
