New Life Sciences Building for Amherst College

A new building was built on a small, steeply-sloping site on the south side of the campus.  A physical proximity is created among several closely-related areas of the sciences:  Bio-chemistry, Biology, Neuroscience, and Psychology.  Machines in a two-story attic and in a basement service spaces for teaching, research, and equipment.  The arrangement of spaces in the building facilitates student-faculty interaction both in and out of class.
