BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES BUILDING

The Biological Sciences building houses biology labs (22) and classrooms, as well as tutorial centers and departmental offices. Research in this building enhances students’ education while also pushing the boundaries of what is possible—like Professor Rachel Brewster’s work on finding new methods to preserve organs for transplant. Her team was recently awarded $400,000 by the National Institutes of Health to further pursue that goal.

Inside you might find Professor Phyllis Robinson (23) , who was recently honored by UMBC for not only her exemplary work with students but also for her two decades of advocacy for women faculty in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.)

This building was UMBC’s first academic building and housed all academic and administrative departments, as well as the library, for the 1966–67 academic years.
