The grant will support the construction of the Fred M. Roddy Anatomy and Physiology Lab, which will be housed in Albertus Magnus Hall in the PC Science Complex. 

More than 2,100 square feet of current lab space will be renovated to provide technological improvements for a lab that will serve both anatomy and physiology research by undergraduates and faculty. 

The Science Complex renovation, scheduled to conclude in December of 2022, will entail gutting nearly an entire wing of Albertus Magnus Hall and completely rebuilding it with updated spaces, tools, and technology.
