Ward Science Hall Becomes Hub At Ottawa University
Ottawa University houses Ward Science Hall a three story stone building named for Dr. M. L. Ward who retired in 1906. The facility, built in 1922, contains physics, math and basic engineering on the first floor and chemistry biology on the upper floors. Two student groups study there including non majors taking science to pass divisions exams and science majors with biology chemistry and mathematics hour requirements. Physics majors must complete 24 hours of physics related work. The school has limited outside research but active work in physics radiation shielding and upcoming chemistry crystal studies.
