First National Bank of River Falls has donated $110,000 toward the UWRF Science and Technology Innovation Center (SciTech), a $117 million structure that is currently under construction and is scheduled to open in January 2026.
In recognition of the gift, a first floor SciTech laboratory will be named the First National Bank of River Falls Environmental Biology Research Lab.
SciTech will house state-of-the-art learning spaces with a focus on active learning.
It will include a University and Business Collaboration Center in which businesses will partner with students and faculty on research and other projects, providing high-level educational opportunities and links to student employment.
University officials estimate more than 60% of students will take at least one class in SciTech.
