Many of these spaces will feature an investment of approximately $2 million in new, state-of-the-art equipment. The MSB currently serves over 1,150 students pursuing STEM majors in Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physics, Computer Science and Information Systems, Mechanical Engineering, and Mathematics, as well as many pre-health and pre-nursing students, and provides engaging learning spaces for all UM-Flint students fulfilling their general education courses.
Susan Gano-Phillips, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, led the planning for the MSB expansion and describes the new addition as a paradigm shift for UM-Flint.
