DECATUR - Agnes Scott College students and faculty will move in to a new $36.5 million science building when they return to campus in January. <br>
<br>
The four-story building, on the southern end of the Presbyterian women's college, will provide classroom space for biology, chemistry, physics and psychology. <br>
<br>
Twenty-two professors who teach those classes will share classrooms, offices and labs. <br>
<br>
The college hopes to improve interdisciplinary studies in the sciences by locating the disciplines in the same building, said school spokesman Lee Dancy. <br>
<br>
For example, students could weave biology and psychology together to find biological reasons for psychological disorders. <br>
<br>
The new building the last in a four-year, $120 million building campaign can capitalize on the popularity of science as a major at the 910-student college, said admissions director Stephanie Balmer.
