Psychology Facilities

The Psychology Department is located on the east wing of the second floor of the Roger Milliken Science Center. The Roger Milliken Science Center houses the Biology, Chemistry, Psychology and Physics departments, creating a vibrant hub of scientific activity. On the first floor you will find the Great Hall study space and a café which promotes interactions among the science faculty and students. Below are some of cutting edge facilities used to support both learning in the classroom and laboratories and publication-quality research within the Psychology department.
