Science Hall Website Now Online

Check out the new website that supports the Science Hall renovation project here.  The site includes renderings of classroom, research and community spaces in the facility as well as floor plans and “green” building features.  It also allows access to the online giving form so that people can donate to support the project.


The first phase of the project includes the renovation of the first floor and atrium area at the southern end of the building.

The Canisius community is also encouraged to respond to the question on the page using the Facebook comment widget.  This will enable users to help the college spread the word about the project via social media.  Future enhancements will include video testimonials and additional photos as the project progresses.

The pages were designed by Field 2 Design and customized by the Office of Web Services with content input from Institutional Advancement and image resources from Canon Design.
