SMPS Austin invites you to tour the Norman Hackerman Experimental Science Building, The University of Texas’s newest state of the art laboratory building.
As part of the College of Natural Sciences at The University of Texas at Austin, the 320,000 SF Norman Hackerman Building features modern office and laboratory space designed to help the school competitively recruit and retain faculty and students in critical academic areas such as neuroscience, computational biology, environmental science, pharmacy and molecular and cellular biology. Prior to beginning construction on the new facility, Beck had to demolish the 55-year-old existing science building as well as perform hazardous material abatement. The new 7-story, $124 million building includes office spaces, conference rooms, teaching labs and utility rooms. The project is seeking LEED® Silver certification.
As the building is nearing completion, but still under construction, please bring your hard hat, safety glasses, closed toed shoes, and appropriate attire. Keep in mind that hard hats must be worn at all times during the tour. If you do not have a hard hat and/or safety glasses, there will be a limited number provided on site.
