Nichols School Class of 1963 Center for Science and Mathematics turns 10 at the end of this year! A few little-known facts about one of our favorite local projects:

  • The original concept of the building is based on the X form and striations of the chromosome
  • The ceilings are designed to optimize natural light – they are sloped upwards towards the exterior north and south walls
  • The internal mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems are intentionally exposed to allow for observation of how buildings work
  • All of laboratory ceilings are made of laminated paper
  • The gardens and the permeable paving in the parking lot drain to underground retention tanks that slow the flow of water into the municipal system
