The BIC provides approximately 5,000 square feet of space which serves as a home base for programs, a study center for the university community, and an educational resource for the general public. Included in that space are a laboratory classroom, a multipurpose room, and a display hall. 

Throughout the year, we offer a variety of events and educational programs for all ages in the BIC. Please visit the programs & events page to see our current schedule.
