Sciences Center features chemistry and biology labs for beginning and advanced study of a variety of scientific areas, state of the art classrooms with full Internet and technological connections, and meeting space for students and faculty.
The centerpiece of this new facility is a Bioinformatics Laboratory. This new lab, one of only a few in the United States, utilizes specialized computers to analyze biological, medical, behavioral and health data, allowing for the training needed for Walsh graduates to continue studying the development of new cures for diseases, sources of food and other scientific breakthroughs not possible without this level of educational preparation.
Special guests at the official dedication of the Timken Natural Sciences Center included U. S. Congressman Ralph Regula, a champion of education and health, who worked on Walsh's behalf to help us secure significant federal funding to make this building possible, and Jack Timken, a representative of the Timken Foundation of Canton. Msgr. Lew Gataeno of Walsh University served as celebrant for the ceremony. Visitors toured the new building with University President Richard Jusseaume, participating in interactive demonstrations in the computer, chemistry and Bioinformatics labs.
