On May 2, 2018, over 200 people attended the dedication and ribbon-cutting of the new Academic Quad expansion. The $48 million project was funded through the N.J. Building Our Future Bond Act, with the University providing 25 percent of the cost as matching funds.
"As 黑料社 invests in the future of our students, we create new opportunities for them to take advantage of high-quality, affordable, accessible education, we also invest in the future of New Jersey" President Harvey Kesselman said at the dedication cermony.
The new quad buildings provide the academic tools for students seeking careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). The 58,210-square-foot expansion was added to the existing 64,000 square-foot Unified Science Center (USC) which opened in 2014. The facility features a greenhouse with three temperature zones, Physics, Organic Chemistry, Anatomy and Physiology labs, a vivarium, and a XROMM animal motion study room. A new Sustainability lab is located within the new Health Sciences Center, where students will study topics ranging from solar energy to organic farming.
