The Destination Project will bring together faculty and students from across science disciplines (Chemistry, Biological Sciences, Biochemistry, Neuroscience, Psychology, Physics & Astronomy), promoting and enabling curricular innovation, helping students achieve their academic goals and fostering a community of science at the U of L and across southern Alberta.

“We are envisioning scientists and researchers working together to share resources and expertise outside of their traditional disciplines to achieve a common scientific goal,” explains Dr. Craig Cooper, dean of the Faculty of Arts & Science. “Research benefits from different perspectives and approaches, creating opportunities for students and researchers to place their work in a greater context.”

By providing exceptional opportunities for collaboration and discovery, the new facility will challenge students and researchers to consider the wider implications of their work, helping define liberal education at the U of L for the 21st century.
