What's happening? Construction of Westtown School's new Science Center will support a cutting-edge science program that prepares students for demands of the 21st century. The building’s design incorporates optimal classroom/lab spaces, the most current technology, a dedicated robotics/physical science room, and a large room for long-term independent research. The current building will be remodeled and a new wing added, doubling the existing space. The building itself is a learning model with purposeful “green” elements, and it will be – at a minimum – LEED silver certified. A geothermal heating and cooling system will be more energy-efficient and will allow us to offer a new Westtown Summer Science Institute.
The $13 million Science Center Expansion and Renovation project began in March. The LEED-certified building will contain six labs in the new wing, and renovations to the existing structure will include dedicated space for the expanding Robotics Program and more room for independent research by students. Under the current ambitious construction timeline, students and teachers will be in the new space January 2014.
