September 30, 2011 — Montgomery College dedicated the new 140,000-square-foot Science Center at the Rockville Campus during a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
In recent years, more students have enrolled in science, engineering, and mathematics courses than ever before, up 57 percent since 2000. Demands for additional courses, instructional space, and equipment strained aging facilities.
“The new Science Center will provide our students with innovative and interactive learning opportunities," said Dr. DeRionne P. Pollard, president of Montgomery College, in a release.
With its four-story atrium, new laboratories, recitation rooms, and faculty offices, the 140,000-square-foot instructional building provides lab space at the campus for students seeking high-quality programs in science, engineering, and mathematics. The facility's 29 new laboratories include 14 biology labs, nine chemistry labs and six physics/engineering labs. Among other features are a greenhouse and a rooftop observatory. The total cost of the project—design, construction, furniture and equipment—was more than $74 million, funded by approximately 50 percent each from county and state resources.
