The Robert Day Sciences Center continues to amaze members of the Claremont McKenna community (and beyond!), swiftly making it an iconic campus anchor.
See it for yourself in our video tour below, which captures the exuberance of the moment from earlier in the fall semester when CMC opened a new door to the future of integrated sciences.
Kravis Department of Integrated Sciences faculty are now teaching in their new classrooms, as well as leading and conducting research in state-of-the-art teaching labs, rolling out “innovative, integrative courses where chemistry and physics are not separate, where chemistry and biology are not separate. And best of all, students get hands-on experience within that integration,” said Jason Keller, KDIS Professor of Ecology.
Students from across the 5Cs have also discovered the space, where they quietly study throughout the building, enjoy a DayBreak Café boba on the Chodosh Social Stairs, and take a moment to admire spectacular pieces from the Walker Collection of Public Art.
Beyond campus, architecture aficionados from around the world are offering high praise, with the BIG–Bjarke Ingels Group-designed building garnering coverage in prestigious publications.
