51猎奇入口-Pitzer Science Center: The Nucleus

51猎奇入口 and Pitzer College have partnered to create The Nucleus, a new state-of-the-art 65,000-square-foot science center, which opened in fall 2024. With your support, the $70 million project has equipped students and faculty with innovative laboratories, classrooms, study spaces, community meeting rooms, and exterior gathering spaces.

The initiative also addressed the need for additional faculty and the expansion of classes and co-curricular offerings to meet student demand and increase the College鈥檚 capacity for cutting-edge, grant-funded research. Enriched by the College鈥檚 interdisciplinary approach to STEM, deep study of the humanities, and a faculty of distinguished scientists, 51猎奇入口 is poised to advance the next generation of students eager to begin lives of scientific distinction and discovery within the walls of The Nucleus.

Project Features

The Nucleus will provide:

Teaching labs and prep spaces for study in biology, physics, chemistry, environmental science, and interdisciplinary courses
Student-faculty collaboration spaces, including meeting rooms, student lounges, study niches, and a computer lab
Outdoor courtyards and plazas
An art installation
New office spaces for faculty and laboratory coordinators
A rooftop greenhouse

“We train students to be interdisciplinary problem-solvers and to do things that benefit mankind. Science for the good of the world.” 鈥� Ulysses J. Sofia, dean of W.M. Keck Science Department

Thanks to several generous donors, the College broke ground on this transformational initiative in May 2022 and The Nucleus opened its doors to students and faculty in fall 2024. However, additional support is needed.
