The atrium of the new Montgomery College Science Center.

Applause: Science Class

Applause: Science Class JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2012

A soaring, four-story atrium anchors the 141,000-square-foot Science Center, a dramatic new addition to the Rockville campus of Montgomery College. Designed by Cho Benn Holback + Associates and Stantec Architecture, the eco-friendly, glass-walled structure integrates a green roof, high-efficiency chillers, solar panels, an underground cistern and recycled construction materials. It houses laboratories, classrooms, a rooftop observatory, a greenhouse and faculty offices. Outside, grass terraces serve as outdoor classrooms. The Science Center recently received a 2011 Merit Award from the American Institute of Architects’ (AIA) Maryland chapter. LEED-gold certification is pending.
