Overview of Project

The construction of the Linus Pauling Science Center is well underway at the corner of 30th Street and Campus Way.

The new 105,000-square-foot building will house the Linus Pauling Institute, chemists from the College of Science, and contain classroom and laboratory space for students and researchers studying chemistry, biology, and life sciences.

The $62.5 million project is OSU's largest-ever academic building project. Funding for the new facility represents a public/private partnership including $31.25 million in state bonds, a $20 million grant from the Wayne and Gladys Valley Foundation, and a gift of $10.65 million from Al Reser '60 and Pat Reser '60. In addition, some 2,600 other donors have made gifts totaling more than $21 million to support the educational and research programs that will be housed in the building.

Scheduled for completion in spring 2011, the facility honors the legacy of Dr. Linus Pauling '22, a pioneering chemist and the only person to win two unshared Nobel Prizes.
