This building was one of UC Riverside’s oldest buildings, it underwent a nearly two-year renovation that was completed in the summer of 2019. The renovated building features modernized classrooms and research laboratories. The improvements to the 114,000-square-foot facility, first built in 1966, were split into two phases. The first and second floors of the north wing saw extensive renovations with the interior concrete walls of former research labs demolished and new instructional labs built. On the third floor, existing labs were remodeled to support low- to medium-intensity research.
