Dickinson on the Move - Highlights of the Month
On May 5, 2006, Dickinson began construction of its new science complex with a groundbreaking ceremony at the corner of North College and West Louther streets. The complex, designed to match the college's innovative, nationally recognized science program, will be the most "ambitious and potentially 'useful' building project in our long history," as President William G. Durden '71 said in his remarks.
A signature interdisciplinary science complex is one of the four goals of the capital campaign First in America: Fulfilling Our Destiny. Launched in October 2006, the campaign also will create new endowed faculty chairs and endowed scholarships and will increase the size of the annual fund. These new resources will allow the college to develop innovative strategies and to permanently sustain both new initiatives and the ongoing work that led one observer to note that Dickinson "seems poised not only to sustain but also to improve its position as one of America's premiere liberal arts colleges."
You can read about the progress of the campaign and see photos of the new science complex at the First in America Web site.
