The Liberty University Science Building brings together the Department of Biology & Chemistry and the Department of Health Professions (Exercise Science, Public Health, Kinesiology, and Athletic Training). The program features cutting-edge teaching laboratories and prep spaces clustered with research labs, seminar rooms, and faculty office space.

The design encourages and draws out moments of study, reflection, and learning, from the quiet of a window study nook, to the interaction between students and teachers around a lab bench, to the dramatic 300-seat auditorium which links the two departments housed in the building. Labs are equipped with the latest technology to accommodate a variety of teaching methods and learning styles. Students can continue discussions at flexible lounges on each floor, where space is provided for both individual and group work. Throughout the building, integrated scientific displays are showcased to help express and create identity for a community of learners dedicated to scientific inquiry.

The H-shaped Science Building opens to Science courtyards, elevated porches, and the campus beyond. The building’s two bars of lab space are connected by a transparent central nucleus of multistory public spaces, flexible classrooms, and the auditorium. Glassy atria at the north and south of the nucleus open the Sciences to the University landscape and provide indoor/outdoor spaces for interaction.
