## Caption

When Rhode Islanders vote in the #specialelection on March 2, RIC's Clarke Science building will be on the ballot. Question 1 would provide $107.3 million for capital improvements at the three state colleges, including $38 million to renovate and modernize RIC's physical science facilities.
•
Clarke Science was built in 1962 and hasn't undergone significant renovations since. It's home to the Department of Physical Sciences, which offers degree programs in physics and chemistry as well as courses in the Earth and space sciences. Hundreds of students in the health fields, education and the arts and sciences  also take physical sciences courses. Faculty also teach a significant number of courses in the General Education Program. At some point, nearly every RIC student passes through the halls of Clarke Science.
•
If Question 1 is approved, renovations will begin with an addition to the building that will house new research laboratories for every full-time faculty member. Construction would also add some space for the medical imaging program. The original building will contain new faculty offices, additional lab spaces and classrooms along with common areas and collaborative spaces for students. The renovation would be complete by 2024.
