Breaking ground on the future! 👷🏗️

Northern Kentucky University officials broke ground on an expansion of the Dorothy Westerman Herrmann Science Center in a ceremony at the Highland Heights campus on Thursday. Kentucky State Senator Shelley Funke Frommeyer and Representative Rachel Roberts attended the event with university leaders and stakeholders.

The expansion project will add an 85,400 square-foot addition to the existing science center, allowing several academic programs to consolidate their spaces into one state-of-the-art, STEM-focused facility. The expansion will enable NKU to significantly enhance its lab and student research space in departments including biological sciences and engineering technology. The scope of the project also involves renovating 19,000 square feet of the existing science center to update collaborative learning spaces.

The architects for the project are @omniarchitects and @fladarchitects. The construction manager is @skanskausa.
