Today, Rider renamed its Science and Technology Center the Mike and Patti Hennessy Science and Technology Center after a $9 million renovation. The 9,500-square-foot addition features a new greenhouse, a cybersecurity lab, a software engineering lab, an anatomy/physiology lab and a new artificial intelligence space. Additionally, students can now work with a synthetic cadaver and an Anatomage table, a three-dimensional virtual dissection table. The project was made possible through the generosity of a $4 million leadership gift from Mike Hennessy '82, who passed away in November unexpectedly. The gift is the largest ever received for the sciences and the catalyst behind the project. He made the gift in honor of his late wife Patrice “Patti” Shelmet Hennessy ’82.
