The Dedication of the Rector Science Complex’s Stuart and James Halls

 

More than 200 Dickinson students, faculty, alumni and friends celebrated the dedication of the Rector Science Complex’s new Stuart and James halls Friday, Oct. 24. Following the official ribbon-cutting for the most ambitious construction project in the college’s history, students and faculty hosted an open house inside the new halls. Presentations ranging from a live demonstration of the human-performance lab to an explanation of faculty-student research into fruit-fly genetics highlighted the facility’s new state-of-the-art classrooms and laboratories.
