On Monday February 3, 2020, Rowan University celebrated its latest milestone with a beam signing ceremony for Discovery Hall, a 68,000 square-foot academic and research building under construction on the Glassboro campus.
Designed primarily for instruction in the STEM disciplines, Discovery Hall will feature 12 classrooms, eight teaching laboratories, faculty research laboratories, two conference rooms, student collaboration space and faculty offices when it opens in 2021.
Rowan President Ali Houshmand said the University’s rapid expansion fueled the need for more academic and research space to support programs in the School of Earth & Environment and the College of Science & Mathematics.
“This new building will help us continue to expand in the STEM disciplines,” Houshmand said. “Rowan University’s core focus will always be undergraduate education but as we grow as a research university we need to expand our facilities and Discovery Hall helps address those needs.”
