Carleton’s Integrated Math & Science Center
Carleton undertook an ambitious construction project to create an Integrated Science Center to foster interdisciplinary and integrated learning. The first phase of construction was the Evelyn M. Anderson Hall which opened to the public on September 16, 2019.
Anderson Hall houses laboratory spaces for Archaeology, Geology, Chemistry, and Physics & Astronomy. In addition, offices for Chemistry and Geology faculty are located on the second and third floors of the office block of this building.
The entire facility is designed to have a net zero impact on energy consumption, and Carleton’s new geothermal energy plant is housed in the sub-basement of Anderson Hall. In addition, the second floor of Hulings Hall, which houses the Biology department office, has been renovated and the Hulings HVAC system has been replaced. The Daugherty Atrium in Anderson Hall seamlessly connects with Hulings Hall on the first and second levels.
The second phase of the project involved renovating about 80% of Olin Hall. Olin Hall houses Psychology, Cognitive Science, Computer Science, and the GIS lab, as well as offices for Biology, Physics, and Astronomy. Renovations on the first floor of Hulings Hall, the basement and third floors in Hulings were completed in fall 2020.
