In fall of 2021, Gonzaga University unveiled its new, collaborative science and engineering facility, The Bollier Center. With an array of labs and collaboration spaces, this 82,679-square-foot facility empowers students to go beyond lectures and theory, and apply their learning to hands-on research, experiments and projects.
Engage in hands-on learning and collaborate with classmates in this open learning space.
The Bollier Center also includes classrooms, faculty offices, a conference room, a terrace and a lobby.
Create prototypes with a laser cutter/engraver, a vacuum former and 3D printers.
Create cleaner-burning combustion systems and improve the efficiency and emission of devices that use promising bio-fuels
Test advances in cybersecurity, data science, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things. Accommodate evolving and emerging computing technology needs.
Address water scarcity, climate change and resource depletion. Use natural byproducts of agricultural and forestry waste as filtration agent.
Foster innovation through senior design and undergraduate research projects. Collaborate with industry professionals and entrepreneurs.
Study the fundamentals of fiber reinforced polymer composites. Explore new manufacturing technologies of interpenetrating polymer network adhesives.
Apply mathematics to real-world situations like medical imaging and knot theory. The Math Learning Center also offers free math tutoring from student tutors and instructors.
Study psychology in the Operant Lab, the Positive Emotion and Social Behavior Lab and The Cultural Psychology Lab.
Engage in hands-on research, such as the discovery of potential anti-parasitic drugs. Collaborate with labs, universities and scientists from all over the world.
Reduce the embodied carbon footprint in construction materials. Expand the capability for full structural and material testing of a scale that enables collaboration with area businesses.
Perform testing in the proper environment for non-moisture or water-related projects.
Uncover the fundamentals of surfaces in relative motion at both macro and nano scales. Develop advanced coatings for aerospace applications and hydrogel-based materials for advanced prosthesis.
