SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY BUILDING
BEING CONSTRUCTED AT RICHARD BLAND COLLEGE

Richard Bland College is taking its next important step in building for the future. After recently completing the construction of its first two residence halls, a full renovation of its campus library, and major renovations in the student commons to include a student health clinic, RBC has launched the construction of a major new classroom building.

Funded by the State of Virginia College Building Authority bonds and scheduled to be opened in August, 2010, the approximately 52,000 square feet, three story building will house mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology classrooms and laboratories, seminar rooms and academic computing facilities, as well as faculty offices, faculty and administrative offices, a faculty lounge and student lounge.

A monumental stairway will connect the first and second floors and an entrance lobby will open to the second floor. The classrooms and laboratories will have state of the art technology, including Smart Boards and wireless access throughout the building.

The building will be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified, including a “green” or living roof on the lower roof level, and will be constructed using noncombustible construction practices. Construction choices minimize the impact this building has on the environment.
