Focus Group Participation Request

In essence, the new building will combine the entire Life Science college and Health Science will have a presence. The requests and ideas taken from the focus group will be given to the architects for the new building. The building is scheduled to be completed Summer of 2013.

The new building will be built to last nearly 100 years; the Widsoe stood only 40. Who knows what kind of changes will occur in the next decade alone. No matter your current involvement in the college or the department your input is important because you are a student at BYU. You make more of a difference than you may realize!
