Math & Science, a progress report

By Teddy Parham

Elizabeth Warren said, “A good education is a foundation for a better future.” 

In a world that is always improving and evolving, the more knowledge you have, the better equipped you are to take on all life has to throw at you.

A new beginning is upon us as we await the new and improved Math and Science Center of Innovative Learning (COIL). 

The construction is under the responsibility of Adolfson and Peterson Construction, who has partnered with CSC in the past to complete projects like the sports complex, the Chicoine Center and the outdoor track and field facility.   

“The Math Science Center of Innovative Learning will be the most capable learning environment for students in the field of math, science, and health professions in this region,” said President Randy Rhine. 

The construction is on track to be completed around mid-February to mid-March. Students can expect to take classes in the new building in Fall 2022.  

“Students will experience a contemporary learning environment designed to be welcoming, interactive, and conducive to high-impact learning,” he said. “The building also shows the college’s commitment to students because it will expand their opportunities to learn and research.” 

Having a new building on campus will draw many students in and the more students want to learn the more successful they will be. Rhine believes that this project is the next step in improving our campus. Not only will this new building add to the campus physically, but it will also add to the education provided.

“It will provide campus with a complex science classroom that meets contemporary laboratory and teaching standards, and the classrooms and laboratories will have new furnishings and equipment which provide a collaborative learning environment.”
