Resources to educate the next generation of scientists

State-of-the-art laboratories, new classrooms and dedicated collaboration space. Completed in January 2022, Rider’s Mike and Patti Hennessy Science and Technology Center allows the University to meet the needs of evolving science education.

  • Students converse in the Science and Technology Center entryway
    The Center’s new wing opened in January 2022.
  • Students converse in the Science and Technology entryway
    The entryway’s open floor plan removes barriers to collaboration.
  • Students converse in the Science and Technology Center entryway
    The flexible space can be used for small gatherings, meetings and events.
  • Students walk together in the Science and Technology Center entryway
    The project allows Rider to continue to integrate newer disciplines.
  • Students converse outside the Science and Technology Center entryway

Begun in November 2020, the $9 million project created a new wing with modern labs, new equipment and new space for programs in cybersecurity, software engineering and anatomy and physiology, allowing Rider to grow current programming in computer science, artificial intelligence and software engineering. It also provided a new greenhouse and distinct areas to encourage collaboration, discussion and study.

The Center's 9,500-square-foot addition expanded the size of the Mike and Patti Hennessy Science and Technology Center to more than 79,000 square feet of space. But expanding Rider’s Mike and Patti Hennessy Science and Technology Center was not just about increasing the footprint of a building. It’s about furthering the University’s ability to prepare students for fulfilling careers in ever-expanding areas of science.

By offering small classes, collaborative relationships with professors, and research opportunities that can begin as early as freshman year, Rider’s interdisciplinary approach allows students to gain fresh perspectives and understand connections between diverse fields of study – a critical ability when seeking answers to complex problems.
