Cornerstone University Inaugurates New Science Facility

-

Michigan-based Cornerstone University unveiled its $15.5 million science facility aimed at improving the quality of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) courses.

The university inaugurated the three-story Jack and Mary De Witt Center for Science and Technology building on Friday. It includes seven labs, faculty offices and group study areas for collaborative learning.

The new facility will train graduating students in science-related fields.

“The addition of the De WittCenter for Science and Technology building on our campus is a game changer for our science, nursing, kinesiology and engineering programs,” Dr. Shawn Newhouse, vice president for traditional undergraduate academics, said.

“West Michigan has an increasing need for graduates from STEM fields, and we are committed to matriculating students who will help meet that need. The new facility substantially advances our mission to empower men and women to excel as influencers in our world forChrist.”

The university has named different labs in honor of faculty members and donors. The chemistry lab has been named after Dick and Linda Antonini, the physiology lab in memory of Reva Miller, the anatomical lab was named after Jerry and Marcy Tubergen, and the engineering lab in honor of Ed and Marge Daverman.
