The 58,000-square-foot North Wing — the first of three phases of the Center for Integrated Sciences (CIS) project — is home to the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. It also houses Introduction to Chemistry courses and the Biology Department’s organismal and field methods classes.

The North Wing features 58 laboratories and classrooms, 21 faculty and staff offices and resources that are currently spread across campus, such as SMIC, whose collection of microscopes rivals those of larger research institutions.

CIS represents Skidmore’s vision for the future of the liberal arts by fostering interdisciplinary connections between and among the sciences, arts, humanities and social sciences. Upon completion in 2024, CIS will host all of Skidmore’s 10 science departments and programs, as well as more than 90 science faculty members.\

The first building in Skidmore’s history to be LEED-certified, the North Wing also reflects Skidmore’s commitment to sustainability. Housed in the North Wing is a new underground geothermal system that will heat and cool all 200,000 square feet of the CIS.
