Nassau Community College’s new $40 million Life Sciences building is the College’s first “green” building, meaning that it will use natural lighting and landscaping, have recycled copper panels on the building’s exterior and incorporate smart boards and wireless technology throughout. The 74,000 square-foot building will be located adjacent to the cluster buildings on the north end of campus. Construction, which began in the spring of 2010, is expected to take approximately two years. Housing the Nursing and Chemistry departments, the building will benefit more than 1,300 students annually.

The “U-shaped" Life Sciences building will feature laboratories, classrooms, faculty offices, conference spaces, computer labs and group study spaces. The interior of the U will contain an open-air courtyard. The new Life Sciences building will set the standard for all future new construction and renovation on campus.
