The Biomedical Research and Training Center will be part of a larger, 32,000-gross-square-foot expansion to the college’s existing Hodson Science .

Of the $3.4 million, $1.5 million will be used for the renovation. The remaining money will be designated for The Hodson Trust Academic Excellence Scholarship Fund, which helps provide a Hood education to students who otherwise might not have been able to attend college.
âWe are tremendously grateful for The Hodson Trustâs continuing support during what has been an undoubtedly challenging year across all of higher education,â Hood College President Andrea Chapdelaine said in a statement.
