Accelerating Research: Interdisciplinary Science Building

By Kenneth Mashinchi

In summer 2023, the Interdisciplinary Science Building (ISB) will open doors to increased collaboration across various scientific fields in ways that will thrust SJSU into the forefront of research and innovation.

The newest academic building at San José State University in more than 30 years, and the first one dedicated to science in 50 years, the ISB will change science in Silicon Valley. The $186 million, eight-story building will house the College of Science’s chemistry and biology labs, the interdisciplinary Center for High Performance Computing, and data and science information labs and classrooms for the College of Professional and Global Education. With teaching labs, research labs and collaboration space on every floor, ISB will introduce a new age of innovation and discovery for science teaching and research.

Enjoy a first look at the inner workings of the future of science at SJSU.
