Encouraging Discovery. Inspiring Innovation. Advancing Knowledge.

The Ernest E. Tschannen Science Complex opened on the Sacramento State campus in Fall 2019.

An ambitious project, the Ernest E. Tschannen Science Complex is a hub for discovery, preparing Sacramento State students to tackle worldwide challenges such as climate change and healthy aging — as well as issues we can’t yet imagine.
