Site work, renovation and addition to an educational facility in Rolla, Missouri. Conceptual plans call for the addition of a 90,400-square-foot educational facility; and for the renovation of a 17,600-square-foot educational facility.

The Schrenk Hall Addition and Renovation – Phase III will renovate Schrenk Hall (1938 &1973) to accommodate the Chemistry and Biological Sciences departments. This will be the final phase with the renovation of 17,600 gross square feet (gsf) of the west wing and the replacement of the east wing with a new 90,400 gsf facility and atrium. This project will provide new teaching laboratories, research laboratories, and support space. The project also takes into consideration growth and consolidation of department entities that are spread over multiple buildings on campus. This project is the final phase of an interdisciplinary complex dedicated to providing world-class education and research in biological sciences, chemistry, and chemical and biochemical engineering. Equipped with expanded research space, open-concept research labs and improved accessibility, this facility will leverage Missouri S&T’s strengths in computational science, environmental engineering, and materials science and engineering to advance medical, environmental, and biomedical research. The building will also be home to an interdisciplinary Center for Research in Biomaterials, where students and faculty will conduct research in bio-active, bio-inspired, and bio-mimetic materials for a variety of applications. The facility will be an integral component of the student experience at Missouri S&T, since almost every student will take at least one course in one or more important foundational area of biological sciences or chemistry. As of May 31, 2024, this project is in the conceptual phase. The owner is in the process of selecting an architect and an award was expected by end of March 2024. A firm timeline for bidding and construction has not been determined.
