About The Pat Brown Center
The Patricia Stocking Brown Student Study addition to the Morrell Science Center is designed to be a bright, light filled space that gives the impression of having left the building and entered a zone between inside and outside. This zone provides for a feeling of leaving the research and experimental spaces and going into an interactive and social space – a space that feels warm and bright. This space is intended to be a testament to someone who was the paragon of a renaissance scientist: teacher, lifelong learner, environmentalist, ethicist, activist and more. She had a unique ability to kindle a burning desire in her students to observe, to study and to document the life sciences.
