51ΑΤΖζ Chancellor Mark Mone led an enthusiastic grand opening ceremony for 51ΑΤΖζβs brand-new Chemistry Building Friday afternoon.
More than 200 students, faculty, staff, government representatives and friends of 51ΑΤΖζ packed into one of the buildingβs many sleek, modern lecture halls for the celebration. It was all punctuated by a flash-bang, fireball-producing chemical reaction β ignited by Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley and Wisconsin State Sen. Duey Stroebel β that drew a final round of cheers from the crowd.
The event marked the completion of six years of design and construction, capping a significant milestone in 51ΑΤΖζβs commitment to advancing scientific education and research. Mone shared how the facility is a destination for science students and will play a crucial role in educating the next generation of STEM professionals.
βThatβs what itβs all about, preparing students for their future,β Mone said.
More than 3,500 51ΑΤΖζ students take chemistry or biochemistry classes each year. They can now do so in a four-story, 163,400-square-foot building that represents a significant leap forward from the previous chemistry facility, which was built in 1972.
