Weber State University graduate Tracy Hall learned to make synthetic diamonds and built his fortune by compacting carbon under intense, prolonged pressure. But creating the next generation of scientists requires open space for the free flow of ideas across disciplines, according to designers of the new science building that will bear Hall’s name on the WSU campus in Ogden, Utah.
The 185,000-sq-ft, nearly $64-million Tracy Hall Science Center soon will be the largest building on campus and brings together all of the science disciplines taught at WSU into one location.
