SAN JOSE—The Interdisciplinary Science Building on the San Jose State University campus is the first new academic building on campus in more than 30 years and the first new science facility in almost 50 years. McCarthy Building Companies Inc., in collaboration with FLAD Architects, recently celebrated the topping out milestone.
"The topping out of the Interdisciplinary Science Building brings us one step closer to a new era of science at San Jose State University," said Michael Kaufman, college of science dean. "Having a building designed to carry out 21st Century science with modern, adaptable collaborative spaces will be transformative for the college of science, and provides an opportunity for students and faculty to approach scientific questions in a way that will propel the university to new heights."

In addition, the Interdisciplinary Science Building will provide opportunities for students and faculty to collaborate with Silicon Valley industry partners.
