New Biological Sciences Building

The new Biological Sciences Building represents far more than a new facility. It is an investment in the future of scientific discovery, student success, and interdisciplinary collaboration at Old Dominion University. As we continue to build on the College of Sciences’ tradition of excellence, this state-of-the-art space will empower our students and faculty to pursue innovative research, engage in transformative learning experiences, and address some of society’s most pressing challenges.

Designed to foster collaboration, the building will bring together modern teaching laboratories, advanced research spaces, and shared areas that encourage the exchange of ideas across disciplines. Its close connection to the Macon & Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences Center strengthens opportunities for partnerships that advance research, improve health outcomes, and prepare the next generation of scientific leaders.

This facility is more than a place to learn. It is where curiosity becomes discovery, where students gain the hands-on experiences that prepare them for meaningful careers, and where faculty continue to push the boundaries of knowledge. Together, we are creating an environment that reflects the innovation, resilience, and excellence that define the College of Sciences.

I am grateful to the alumni, donors, friends, and partners whose support is helping make this vision a reality. Your investment in our students and programs ensures that future generations of Monarch scientists have the resources they need to make a lasting impact on our communities and our world.
