Officially dedicated on October 19, 2018, the Center for Arts and Neuroscience, or CCAN, is an 11,000-square-foot space on the south end of campus that opened in Fall 2017. Originally intended to be a bookstore and cafe, CCAN was redesigned and repurposed to become an academic building. The building hosts classes, research, collaboration, and the exhibition of creative works.

CCAN is the home of the interdisciplinary Neuroscience Program, which integrates biology, chemistry, philosophy, engineering, and psychology. CCAN’s Arts Creativity Corridor features a student art gallery with a high, open ceiling; flexible track lighting; and uninterrupted white walls. Students played a key role in designing the building’s Student Common space by participating in one of three planning committees to create a comfortable environment that would accommodate socializing and studying with friends.

Key donors for CCAN included Alexander Levi ’67 (for whom the Neurosciene Wing is named) and Victory Levi; John Robson ’70; and foundation partners: the Edward C. and Ann T. Roberts Foundation, the William and Alice Mortensen Foundation, and the Maximilian E. & Marion O. Hoffman Foundation.
