Construction is progressing beautifully on the Linfield University Campus for the W.M. Keck Science Center to create a state-of-the-art science center impacting all Linfield science departments. In an effort to minimize disruption and keep employees and classrooms in place as long as possible, construction on the McMinnville campus has been phased-in demolition, construction and then the renovation process. Designed by SRG Partnership, this project is critical to Linfield’s distinctive science education, fostering new levels of student engagement and empowering cross-disciplinary, research-oriented STEM programs!
