In March 2010, construction began on what is now the largest research facility in the history of Arizona State University: Interdisciplinary Science and Technology Building IV (ISTB4). This 293,000-square-foot facility provides flexible laboratories with adjoining workspace for the School of Earth and Space Exploration (SESE), which is the prime occupant, and also the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering.
A hallmark of SESE is its unprecedented commitment to formal, informal, and pre-collegiate science; as a result, ISTB4 was designed in an entirely novel way that reflects the school’s dedication to K-12 education and public outreach. The first and second floors of this building are largely devoted to the integration of cutting-edge research in earth and space sciences with public education. Visitors are invited to explore earth and space sciences through digital media and public lectures shared in a high-definition theater, glass-enclosed research laboratories that allow visitors to see scientists at work, interactive displays that encourage hands-on learning.
