Episode Details

Montclair State University is building a $120 million science center—set to open in fall 2028—that’s not just big, but brilliantly designed to revolutionize science education. Spanning 110,000 square feet, it features cutting-edge labs, tech-enabled classrooms, a hybrid indoor-outdoor classroom, a rain garden, and a dry stream bed—all to foster collaboration across chemistry, physics, and interdisciplinary programs. Named the “Imaginarium,” the space is built to spark innovation and break down departmental silos, driven by President Jonathan Koppell’s vision. With $60 million from New Jersey’s Higher Education Office, the facility aims to equip students with real-world scientific skills for future careers, as emphasized by Dean Lora Billings.
