The Walsh Center stands parallel to De La Roche Hall, and is connected to the other building by a glass corridor. The Walsh building is named for William F. Walsh, a 1934 graduate of St. Bonaventure, mayor of Syracuse in the 1960s, and a 3-term congressman in the 1970's. The Walsh building is St. Bonaventure University’s answer to the, “concern in our country about the critical need to improve education in science, mathematics and engineering,” according to University President, Sr. Margaret Carney, OSF. The Walsh building “houses state-of-the-art computer science, laboratory and classroom space, biology labs, organic and general chemistry labs, a Natural World lab, a 150-seat indoor amphitheater, and faculty offices integrated with lab space for better student-teacher accessibility.” Both the Walsh Center and De La Roche are not only better equipped to teach the sciences; they also employ green technologies in order to run more efficiently.
