Facilities

Taylor's physics and engineering department is located in the Nussbaum Science Center. This 45,000 square-foot structure houses biology, chemistry, computer science, math and physics classrooms, laboratories, lounges and the university's information technology department. This facility also includes three lecture halls and two classrooms equipped with state of the art audio-video equipment. 

The Physics department also has research labs located in the Taylor CR&I (Center For Research and Innovation). Six labs in the CR&I function to provide a place for electronics education as well as student research. CR&I Webpage
