Science and Technology Innovation Center
University of Wisconsin-River Falls
The new three-story Science and Technology (SciTech) Innovation Center transforms the hands-on learning experience for future scientists and engineers while creating channels for students to collaborate with faculty and regional industry leaders from a variety of disciplines. An integrated University and Business Collaboration Center (UBCC) creates a place where employers and students can interact through internships, collaborative research projects, presentations, strategic discussions, product design, and joint professorships.
SciTech houses the chemistry, biology, physics, and psychology programs, as well as computer labs, offices, non-classroom learning spaces, and makerspaces with rapid prototyping equipment and tools. The building contains labs for general, organic, and analytical chemistry; general biology, biotechnology, microbiology, tissue culture, and anatomy and physiology; physics (teaching and projects); human behavior, neurology, and psychology; and computational and flex studio rooms.
