Swanson Science Center, Academic building on Washington & Jefferson College campus in Washington, US
The Swanson Science Center is an academic building on the Washington & Jefferson College campus in Washington. It houses specialized laboratory facilities and classroom spaces for chemistry, physics, biophysics, and biochemistry.
The building opened in 2010 following a major donation from an engineer and college trustee. This gift enabled the college to build a modern facility that advanced its science programs.
The building uses marble columns and Palladian windows that match the design of older campus structures nearby. These architectural elements create a visual connection to the historic character of the campus.
The center is typically open to students and visitors with academic access during regular college hours. Main campus entrances provide the best orientation for those visiting the science facilities.
A time capsule containing items from college community members is sealed inside the building as a record of this moment in time. A historical marker near the capsule honors a journalist who had deep roots in the college's history.
