Wyoming Seminary eighth-graders receive awards

<p>The Peoples Security Charitable Foundation recently awarded a $10,000 grant in support of Misericordia University&#8217;s Now for Tomorrow campaign and construction of the state-of-the-art Frank M. and Dorothea Henry Science Center.</p><p>The award will assist Misericordia University as it enhances academic programs in the sciences, and health and medical sciences fields with the completion of the Henry Science Center. Misericordia University graduates the highest percentage of health science students in the region, with 54-percent of all students majoring in the health and medical sciences fields during the recent 2018-19 academic year.</p><p>The $45 million Henry Science Center will be the largest academic building on Misericordia&#8217;s more than 124-acre campus when it is completed. It features a deliberate mix of classroom space, technology, and teaching and research laboratories. The project upgrades and expands upon the existing science building, built in 1957 and renovated in 1988 for up to 800 students. Misericordia now serves close to 3,000 students.</p><p>The groundbreaking for the new three-story 57,400-square-foot wing took place in April and will take about 18 months to complete. Renovation of the existing 28,500-square-foot science hall will commence in June 2020, with completion of the entire Henry Science Center ready for the beginning of the fall 2021 semester.</p><p>The design of the Henry Science Center puts science clearly on display while meeting the demands of the 21st-century model of learner-based and discovery-based teaching. Rich in technology, the design will provide a number of dedicated laboratories and workspaces for specific areas of inquiry, including a small mammal vivarium, aquatic/invertebrate vivarium, electronics/computer build lab and 10 new teaching labs in biology, chemistry and physics. An organic chemistry lab will be adjacent to the learning center dedicated to the nuclear magnetic resonance instrument, better known as an NMR. A new cold room will enable advanced molecular experiments, while a cadaver suite, complete with an integrated control room, Anatomage room, and laboratory and preparatory space, will expand learning opportunities for students in the health and medical sciences.</p><style>
