The Addition and Renovation of Donnelly Science Center
In the summer of 2024, Loyola University Maryland broke ground on the 18,000-square-foot addition and renovation of the Donnelly Science Center.
The project involves a complete interior renovation of the four-story building. The plans maximize teaching and research lab space while also focusing on providing increased student collaboration areas. The addition will add research labs, teaching labs, and student lounge/study space to the building.
Floor plan revisions include right-sizing lab and teaching spaces to industry standards and increasing office space for faculty and staff growth. HVAC, mechanical, and electrical upgrades will update the facilities, provide thermal comfort year-round, and increase energy efficiency. The project will also bring daylight and openness to the building and create a more visible presence for the sciences on the Quad. Construction is scheduled for completion in fall of 2026.
