About Nucleus

Nucleus is a state-of-the-art Department of Natural Sciences center, opened in the Fall of 2024. 

The partnership aims to invigorate, expand, and reimagine the science program for the two campuses.

The 65,000-square-foot building will provide the opportunity to expand STEM course offerings, add additional faculty and act as a collaborative space for professors and students across science disciplines.

Pitzer Voices

“When students come to study science, we’re going to be able to take them, regardless of their experience or background in the sciences, and help them to successfully pursue their plans. We’re really excited about where we’re going to go and what we’re going to do with this new space.”
