The grand opening of the Science Learning Collaboratory or SLC was held on April 28, 2014. Located on the second floor of the Meyerhoff Chemistry Building, the innovative science teaching wet lab is the result of a collaboration between the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and CNMS. HHMI will use the lab during the summer months for its Science Education Alliance initiatives and UMBC will use the lab as a classroom during the fall and spring semesters.
