Middle Tennessee State University

The new three-story, 257,000-sq. ft., state-of-the-art Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) Science Building. The facility houses MTSU’s Chemistry and Biology Departments, along with graduate programs for computational sciences and molecular biology.

The building features space for student presentations, a three-story atrium, a greenhouse, and a vivarium.

A 3-story glass atrium creates a dramatic entrance to the building and provides elegant space for social gatherings and student presentations. Mechanical penthouses are located on each of the 3 building wings. The project includes 3 separate components: the new Science Building; demolition of 4 dormitory buildings; and a new 10,000-square foot Chiller Plant.
