Dixie State University is requesting $50 million to construct a new 120,000 square foot Science, Engineering, and Technology Building. The existing 46,402 square foot science building was constructed in 1963 for a student body of 350 and is now inadequate and obsolete, as enrollment in science programs has increased 20% and laboratories are too small. The new building would triple the number of laboratories to accommodate the current student population and provide needed space for engineering, chemistry, biology, physics, anatomy, physiology, and genetic counseling programs.
