Naming Opportunities

The Center for Sciences and Bio-Medical Engineering

The Center. By transforming the 1901 Ira Allen building to become the new Center for Sciences and Biomedical Engineering, the heritage building is fully rejuvenated. The main entry slices through the seam between the existing and new building and strikes a dramatic statement of transparency through the brick facades.
$5,000,000

The Forum. The centerpiece of the rejuvenated Ira Allen, the Forum is a soaring open space between the existing building and the new expansion. The Forum provides a venue for college-wide events and meetings. The Forum will have soft seating that can be repurposed to accommodate differing group sizes.
$2,000,000

Ideas & Buildings.  The Center will be constructed using 'green' building principles to be as energy efficient as possible, including natural lighting and ventilation. With a new pedagogy for the teaching labs, the majority of equipment on campus will be replaced in the new building. The equipment ranges from hoods in the chemistry labs to microscopes.  While much of the project will be funded through Institute’s cash reserves, we are seeking an additional $1 million to fund laboratory equipment, computers, furniture and landscaping for this state-of-the-art science building.
 $1,000,000

Teaching Labs. The eleven teaching labs will transform pedagogy at WIT. No longer separated by lab and classroom time, the new learning model is a fully integrated experience. The labs are organized around biomedical engineering (2), physics (4), biology (1), material science (1), and chemistry (3).
