In August 2016, the University of Kentucky will be welcoming a new icon to campus with the opening of the Academic Science Building. Focusing on integration across scientific fields and levels, the Academic Science Building will celebrate the relationship between research and learning while providing new opportunities for students.
Through Paul Laurence Dunbar High School's Math, Science, and Technology Center, high school senior Valerie Sarge is acquiring an impressive set of research skills before she even begins college. Valerie has been working with chemistry professor John Anthony at UK's Center for Applied Energy Research, and is looking at how agricultural byproducts might be able to be used in flexible, low-cost electronics.
The College of Arts & Sciences is collaborating on an effort to revitalize science education with the addition of a new science building. Born with ecological ideals in mind, this building will create a learning environment unlike any other on campus as classrooms engage students with the incorporation of nature into the building’s design itself.
