DREAM BIG: UNLOCKING SIENA'S FULL POTENTIAL IN THE SCIENCES

The Nobel Hall science center expansion and Roger Bacon renovation directly impacts 41% of the Siena College student body (and growing!) The science complex now features approximately 40,000 sq. ft. of all-new specialized laboratories, active learning spaces, and more. This transformative project is Siena's launchpad toward its goal of becoming the #1 college in the region for the sciences.

Enhanced student experience

• Better instructional facilities

The Transformative Gift

Das Nobel ’06 and his wife and Siena Trustee, Nipa, will fully fund an expansion of the science center  with the addition of Nobel Hall. Their $35 million gift helped transform Siena’s footprint and unleash the College’s full potential in the sciences. 

“The foundation from Siena College enabled us to give back to my alma mater in a way that will impact the next generation of leaders,” Nobel said. “I am proud to be a Siena alumnus and hope this contribution will inspire future students to dream big.”
