The new STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) Laboratory Building
The renovated science building—to become the new STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) laboratory Building—will offer approximately 33,000 SF in a collection of larger, 21st century, state-of-the-art laboratory and student study spaces to support the biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, computer science, and medical laboratory science programs. The goals of the new design include collaborative learning that emphasizes integration between disciplines and departments, as well as enhancing flexibility to various scales of learning. The new STEM building will create an energetic environment to promote interdisciplinary opportunities in and outside the classroom, building openness and transparency, leading to enhanced student success.
Every dollar donated has a positive impact on every student at WAU. Together, fulfilling the Vision for 2030 is a glorious possibility.

Financing a college education is a challenge for most students and their families, whatever their present income. The number one challenge many students face each year is finding a way to afford their education. Almost all WAU students receive some type of financial aid, yet most students still struggle to bridge the gap between tuition and what their financial aid covers. Despite the challenge of paying for higher education, these students want to attend a university where Christ is the center of their education.
- 90 percent of all undergraduate students receive some form of financial aid.
- 60 percent of students take out federal student loans.
- 45 percent of students receive the federal Pell Grant for low-income families.
Every dollar donated has a positive impact on every student at WAU.
Together, fulfilling the Vision for 2030 is a glorious possibility.
Make a gift to support student scholarships to help students like Valerie.
