A four-story-high lobby built to emulate a microscope will be the focal point of a new Science and Technology center at the University of San Diego. In a re-creation of T. W. Engelmann's 1883 experiment, in which he discovered that blue and red light were most favorable for photosynthesis, a skylight will admit light that will be refracted by a prism and lenses before illuminating a glass "slide" on the second floor. The $46 million building will be a working symbol of interdisciplinary collaboration, says Rachel Grossman of San Diego design firm Carrier Johnson. The microscope lobby is a "symbol of a moment in scientific history when a single discovery combined biology, chemistry, and physics."
