Students pursue degrees in the sciences to understand better the workings of our world, and through this our place in this world. The faculty embrace learning by doing, and have both new and renovated space designed specifically around enhancing student-faculty research. St. Bonaventure's new science building, The William F. Walsh Science Center, and the renovation the original science building, De La Roche Hall, are part of the University's ongoing committment to preparing future generations to be innovators, researchers, discoverers, and explorers of important ideas. (See below.)
Students are challenged not to find the right answer, but rather to search for the correct question.
The programs, and more particularly the research pedagogy, are an excellent preparation for life after college. Whether it is in industry or graduate or professional school, the skills developed in these programs, critical thinking, independent examination, oral and written communication, are those prized by mentors and employers.

New Science Center
St. Bonaventure has completed one of the most ambitious projects in the University's history -- the renovation of De La Roche Hall and the addition of The William F. Walsh Science Center.

The 46,500-square-foot Walsh Science Center, completed in 2008, houses state-of-the-art computer science, laboratory and classroom space, biology labs, organic and general chemistry labs, a Natural World lab, a 150-seat indoor amphitheater, and faculty offices integrated with lab space for enhanced student-teacher accessibility.
Renovation of historic De La Roche Hall is also complete. The renovation and new addition doubles the academic space available to students studying the sciences at SBU. For more information about the new science center, follow the two links below. To see two years of construction compressed into three images, click on the thumbnail.
