Charles H. Townes Center for Science
The Physics Department will be one of many lucky beneficiaries when the Charles
H. Townes Center for Science opens in 2008. The center
is named for Furman Physics Graduate and Nobel Prize winner
Charles H. Townes, the inventor of the laser.
The building will provide new lab and research facilities
as well as a Nuclear Lab, Optics Lab, and a Planetarium
Simulation Lab. In addition, common areas in the center
will encourage collaboration between the physics department
and the other scientific disciplines at Furman. The building’s
close proximity to Riley Hall will allow for joint efforts
with the Departments of Mathematics and Computer Science.
Phase one of the two-phase building project will create
new space for the department in the north hall of the
center. The second cycle of construction will add a science
library and additional classroom and laboratory space
for all departments.
