Center for Integrated Sciences (CIS)
The single largest academic initiative in Skidmore’s history, CIS will be a hub that fosters unique interdisciplinary connections across the sciences,
arts, humanities and social sciences. Thanks to your transformational gift, the North
Wing is now complete, and faculty and students are using new, state-of-the-art spaces
for teaching and learning. Construction continues and is slated for completion in
2024.
CIS is a powerful and prominent manifestation of Skidmore’s core commitment to liberal
learning.
From its two wings and soaring atrium to its 51 research and teaching labs, 21 classrooms
and state-of-the-art collaborative Idea Lab, CIS features flexible spaces that will
boost creativity and discovery.
Students from across campus and among all academic disciplines will partner with one
another and with our faculty to explore solutions to the world’s most important problems.
Today’s discoveries are happening where biology meets psychology to address mental
health crises; where environmental science and economics combine to develop clean
affordable sources of energy; and where chemistry intersects with business to produce
new cancer treatments.
