Alcorn State Math and Science Building

This classroom and laboratory facility is the home of the University’s chemistry, physics, biology, mathematics and computer science departments. Prominently sited on the campus’ northwest corner, the University transformed the education of science and math with the completion of the new facility. The L-shaped building converges around a three-story central atrium, minimizing circulation space. Each department is laid out on a single floor with administrative suites and research offices opposite their respective laboratories.

While the exterior skin of brick and limestone under a pitched metal roof recalls the adjacent original nineteenth-century campus structures, the attic space created by the sloped roof serves as the fan loft for the lab hoods. Outside, a student plaza offers opportunities for quiet gatherings and individual study.
