Suter Science Center East Wing renovations were completed in 2015, providing biology and chemistry departments with brand new facilities, hardware and safety equipment. We are fortunate to have a variety of instruments and equipment that enhance the laboratory experience. Listed below are some of our most commonly used teaching and research materials.
Take a virtual tour of the science center.
