Cornell College welcomed students, staff, faculty, alumni, donors, and the community to campus on Feb. 14, 2017, to reveal that construction would soon begin on a new science building. This is a time-lapse video of the project. This is the first new academic building constructed on the Cornell College campus in 40 years. The project, funded completely through philanthropy, moved forward at an accelerated pace due to a leadership gift of $20 million by alumna Jean Russell ’65 to honor her Cornell experience and her father’s legacy. Students begin class in the new building at the beginning of Block 4.
