Since we've been hanging around the Guilford College area this week, we thought we'd end the week sharing a photo of the Frank Family Science Center. The building, located on Guilford College's campus, is over 50,000 square feet. Constructed in 2000, the Frank Family Science Center was designed by the faculty who took extra effort to make the facility conducive to student/faculty interaction. The design helps with a sense of community. From the positive testimonials, it is obvious that students and faculty alike enjoy this building. It has occupancy sensors which help with conserving energy. Faculty efforts to be closer to students is one of many reasons Guilford College is featured on the website of Colleges that Change lives.

The little dome you see on top is the Cline Observatory. Presentations are offered monthly with the all-dome projector. Weather permitting, they offer public viewings with the observatory telescopes. The next big event scheduled will happen tomorrow on November 14th when Don Cline, from the Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute (PARI) will present a session, entitled "PARI: A Place to Learn about Science and Stars." Yes, this is THE Don Cline, Guilford College alum. for whom the observatory was named. HIs presentation will start at 7:30 pm.
