The newest major building on the Huntington University is the Science Hall, which opened in 2002. However, it hasn’t had a name…until now.
On April 24, the building was named the Dowden Science Hall, in honor of Dr. G. Blair Dowden and Chris Dowden, who led Huntington University for 22 years before retiring in May 2013. The Board of Trustees had announced in April 2013 that the Science hall would be named in their honor. Now, the new sign bearing their name has been unveiled.
Nursing is now HU’s largest major, with 90 students. The 91,000 square-foot facility is also home to the nursing, math, computer science, chemistry, biology, pre-med, and environmental science programs.
