In-design campus construction projects
Life Sciences building
The design for a new multi-story Life Sciences building is currently underway. The building will provide needed research and teaching facilities for both the College of Science and the College of Agriculture, Biotechnology & Natural Resources.
Located in the Mathewson University Gateway District, the 90,000 square foot facility is envisioned to include research labs with associated support space and offices,
undergraduate teaching labs, conference/collaboration spaces, and the relocated Museum of Natural History.
The Life Sciences building will be oriented to provide major pedestrian entrances from the campus side of the building and from Center Street. The site development will allow for accessible pedestrian circulation around the building and to a second floor bridge at the Life Sciences building which will connect to the Gateway Parking Complex. This bridge will provide an accessible route to the main campus across Ninth Street.
- Architects: H+K Architects
- Estimated square footage: 90,000
- Projected construction start date: Spring 2028
- Projected construction completion date: Spring 2030
New Utility Plant Boiler

Design for a new boiler at the Utility Plant is currently underway to support the campus high-temperature hot water (HTHW) system, which provides building heat across the university. The existing boilers are aging, and this project will add critical capacity and redundancy to the HTHW loop, improving system reliability and resiliency. The new boiler will help ensure consistent heating service during peak demand and maintenance periods while supporting the long-term operational needs of the campus.
