To Better Understand the Natural World

"The Sis and Herman Dupré Science Pavilion at Saint Vincent College is more than just a building. It's a symbol of the school's commitment to science education. I am particularly impressed by the facility's innovative design elements -- inspired by science and math themes -- alongside its multi-use labs where different sciences can cross-pollinate their methods, tools, and ideas toward a greater understanding of the physical world. The country needs this right now."

Inside the Science Pavilion, you will find...

• The Herbert W. Boyer School of Natural Sciences, Mathematics, and Computing
   Herbert W. Boyer, C'58, D'81, is among our most notable alumni. The school offers undergraduate and graduate students a rigorous, integrated curriculum grounded in the founding principles of the Catholic and Benedictine tradition. These principles create an environment for study characterized by mutual respect, personal attention, and open dialogue.
• The Angelo Taiani Planetarium and Astronaut Exhibit
  The planetarium features the latest digital technology that can project the nighttime sky and can also take viewers on a tour of the solar system. It was made possible by a gift from the 1948 graduate, who enjoyed a successful career as an aerospace engineer with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. 
• The Dr. Frank J. Luparello Lecture Hall
  The Dr. Frank Luparello Lecture Hall pays tribute to an outstanding teacher and physician, the late Dr. Frank Luparello, C'49. Dr. Luparello's illustrious medical career spanned more than 50 years, which all began with the Benedictine teachers he had as an undergraduate pre-med student at Saint Vincent.
