The John J. Bowen Center for Science and Innovation establishes a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment for teaching and research in technology, engineering, and the sciences. Among the first significant developments within the revitalized I-195 district, the building reflects Johnson & Wales University’s commitment to forward-thinking academic spaces in an urban innovation hub.
The three-story facility integrates flexible teaching labs, active learning classrooms, faculty offices, and a central presentation space to encourage cross-disciplinary interaction. Open sightlines and shared gathering areas support hands-on learning and real-time collaboration between students and faculty.
Designed to achieve LEED certification, the center incorporates sustainable materials and systems contributing to energy efficiency and long-term performance. Its strategic location and contemporary design position the building as a catalyst for innovation and academic growth on the university’s downtown campus.
