“The 32 million dollar Robinson Science hall is the largest, most expensive and most important academic facility built by Whitworth in its 122-year-history. Designed by Miller-Hull Architects and constructed by Bouten Construction, the 63,000 square foot building houses Whitworth’s Biology, Chemistry, and health sciences departments. Opened in 2011, the building houses state of the art laboratories and instrumentation, animal-research facilities, and classrooms that can be converted to labs to meet the university’s science and classroom needs for the next 20 years.”
