Shields Science Center Construction Project
Science is a central component of the curriculum of liberal arts and sciences and pre-professional programs that Stonehill offers its students. Stonehill College is committed to providing a first-rate science education and to foster interdisciplinary collaboration between the sciences and other disciplines, so that its students can become educated citizens for the 21st century.
The mission of the Shields Science Center contains the blueprint for creating the essential infrastructure to achieve these goals.
