Construction began this week on the University of the Ozarks’ new $18.1 million science center, the largest single capital construction project in University history.
The Thomas and Frances Wilson Science Center is expected to be completed by next January, in time for the Spring 2022 Semester.
The project includes a complete renovation of the current 29,000-square-foot facility, which was built in 1969, as well as an 18,000-square-foot addition on the west side of the current building.
University of the Ozarks President Richard Dunsworth helped kick off the construction phase of the project on Monday during a brief building demo ceremony. Dunsworth operated a trackhoe and began the demolition of the guest cottages on the west side of the science center.
