At the Center of Innovation & Tradition

Our new 65,000-square-foot Science & Innovation Center will complement our liberal arts foundation with superior facilities that will provide our young men and women with the spaces they need and deserve. Our faculty and students will be inspired to contemplate the ways their ideas are consistent with their faith, collaborate with others to see the world more broadly and create solutions that will serve the greater good.

Fr. Thomas P. Greene, SJ, Provincial U.S. Central and Southern Jesuits

The Society of Jesus has always been known for its deep commitment to the humanities, to the liberal arts. But a lot of people don’t know how committed we’ve been to the sciences throughout the ages.

Contemplate

In the Jesuit tradition, we ask our students to look for the signs and ways in which God is calling them to be and to serve.

In our new Science & Innovation Center, our students and teachers will explore their gifts and talents, and see themselves as part of the larger community and the world. They will consider their purpose and personal responsibility to serve others when they apply the new skills they are learning.

Collaborate

The best way to solve complex problems is to bring many people together to share their different skills and perspectives.

The convergence of scientific and creative disciplines will kindle the love of learning and exploration for all of our students and teachers. Flexible spaces and cutting-edge technology will encourage collaboration and experimentation and elevate the educational experience for every student.

Create

With an 8000-square-foot maker space and many hands-on tools, students will create prototypes with their own hands.

From robotics and rocket science to new space for RJ Media and expanded facilities for studio art, metal work, greenhouses and more, students will have state-of-the-art spaces to create and display the things they imagine. Creating—and yes, even failing—will build their resilience and confidence.

SUPPORT THE INNOVATION FUND

As construction on the new Science & Innovation Center nears completion, we are preparing to fill the classrooms and new learning spaces with the programming and equipment that will allow our students to fully experience a holistic, hands-on learning environment. New bricks and mortar are just the first step in creating a space where our students can nurture their curiosity and collaborate to imagine and test their ideas. From microscopes to 3D printers, welding stations to laser cutters, computer labs to CAD software, multi-media editing bays to recording equipment, with your support our students will have the tools they need to imagine and create solutions that serve God, humanity and our common home.

David Card '87, President

Regis Jesuit provides a very strong liberal arts education, and now we have the opportunity to create even more applied learning experiences for our students and to improve the gender gap in STEM.

Complementing our Liberal Arts Tradition

The Science & Innovation Center will be a welcoming front door to campus. It will kindle a love of learning and exploration across the curriculum for all our students and teachers.

Sustaining our mission and vision

We are doubling down on our core values of forming critical thinkers of competence, conscience and compassion.
Learning by doing and reflecting

We will teach students about design thinking, entrepreneurship, creating and prototyping their ideas, and learning through trial and error.
Enhancing our curriculum

With this state-of-the-art facility, we are complementing our liberal arts foundation with a significant dedication to science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics.
Serving more young women

New space will allow us to increase the enrollment of our Girls Division, eventually equalizing the gender balance of our school and strengthening our commitment to single-gender education.
Inspiring excellence

We will help solve real-world problems and empower our students and faculty to imagine and create solutions that serve God, humanity and our common home.
Building community

We will be a model and a magnet for our 13,000+ alumni, industry partners and members of the community. Our students will develop personal and professional relationships that will last a lifetime.

Jimmy Tricco, Principal

We want our students to figure out, ‘What am I doing with my skills, with my talents, to make sure that we can solve these problems to continue God’s kingdom on earth?’ That’s ultimately our goal.
