"Rosenberg Hall, with adjoining classrooms
and study space in Napier Hall, is among the best - if
not the best-designed undergraduate science teaching-learning, research
facilities we have ever seen."
1995 Council on Undergraduate
Research Review Team Report
HWS Viewbook
"This is not the
mad-scientist-in-the-basement kind of space -- this is light filled, with
soft woods, glass and polished steel. Beautiful details abound -- smart
storage design, well-placed lab benches, rooms that work hard. Instruments
and computers look like they are meant to live here -- they are not stuck
in corners."
