Colby College gets $10 million for science center

Colby College has received a $10 million gift to help build a new science center. College president William Adams said the gift, from the Shelby Cullom Davis Charitable Fund, is one of the largest in the school’s 200-year history. The 36,400-square-foot science building will house a robotics laboratory, behavioral neuroscience research center, and computer laboratories. It will be named the Davis Science Center. A trustee of the charitable fund, Andrew Davis, graduated from Colby in 1985 and served on the college’s board of trustees from 1999 to 2006.
