The Science + Engineering Building accommodates all laboratory based activities for UC Merced’s Natural Science and Engineering Divisions. Prototypical, modular laboratory spaces easily accommodate shifts in types of activity and density of personnel. Twenty-three classroom labs, an open academic computing center, and a sixty person seminar room complete the primary student spaces, designed to foster interdisciplinary collaboration among faculty and students. Open lab suites on the upper two floors accommodate up to four principal investigators. Smaller spaces housing specialized lab functions open into the suites, while common lab support spaces open off the corridor.
