The vision for Madonna University’s first new building in 40 years was to create a learning center that fosters opportunities for intellectual creativity, critical thinking and student-centered instructional methodology. The facility provides a positive example of environmental stewardship, promotes community interaction, enhances the beauty of Madonna University and lifts the spirits of the users.
The Franciscan Center for Science and Media houses a mix of instructional laboratories, faculty offices, classrooms, student gathering areas and state of the art digital TV and radio studios along with video editing suites and a 150-seat lecture hall.
General instructional spaces include two classrooms, two seminar rooms and a computer classroom that is configured as a video editing lab.
