New Science Building at Franklin & Marshall Draws on Old Models
Franklin & Marshall College’s newest building looks anything but new. In fact, it takes its architectural vocabulary from a series of Georgian Revival buildings designed for the campus in the 1920s by the architect Charles Z. Klauder.
The new building is big — almost as long as a football field, according to The Sunday News, a newspaper in Lancaster, Pa. The $49-million building’s name, too, is long: the Ann and Richard Barshinger Life Sciences and Philosophy Building. Designed for the biology, psychology, and philosophy departments, the 104,000-square-foot building houses classrooms, labs, offices for faculty members, a lecture hall, a greenhouse, and a three-story atrium.
The architects were Einhorn Yaffee Prescott Architecture & Engineering.

I think it is marvelous that F+M is investing in its future. This is a very unique combination of disciplines to be sharing one facility. I would be interested to see if, over time, there is increased incidence of students in one major taking courses in the other two disciplines.
