STEM Center Virtual Reality Event!

On February 5, 2026, the design-build team (Swinerton | SmithGroup) for the new STEM Center was on campus hosting an interactive virtual reality event. VR Goggles were made available to students and staff to gain feedback on the design development of the new building! The simulation allowed people to be transported into the new space and navigate their way around the building.

The STEM Building will offer a variety of collaboration spaces for faculty and students. Spaces like the STEM Center, Math Lab, Maker Space, MESA Room, and a variety of Study Rooms offer space for students to spend time working independently or in groups. These spaces may be used for instruction, too.

This was a fun and successful event that our very own film/tv studio was able to capture and created a You Tube video. We are looking forward to working more with Swinerton | SmithGroup on the design progress of the new STEM Building as well as the renovation to the Life Science Building. Please enjoy the video!
