Science Complex Groundbreaking Ceremony

On May 5, 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," said President William G. Durden '71 during his opening remarks.
