随着对 STEM 领域人才的需求不断增长,印第安纳州有机会吸引学生接受 STEM 教育和从事 STEM 职业 - 这将有助于增强该州的经济。  

因此,2010 年, 巴特勒大学 建立了科学扩建和改造项目,分三期对大学科学综合楼进行扩建和改造,以支持 21英石 世纪学生学习和创新。通过高科技教室、新实验室空间和协作工作区,该大学旨在增加入学人数、创建新的科学课程并满足对 STEM 人才日益增长的需求。  

自 2013 年以来,理查德·M·费尔班克斯基金会已向巴特勒大学拨款 $13 百万美元来支持该项目。这项工作符合基金会通过增加 STEM 人才来增强印第安纳波利斯活力的重点,并纪念迪克·费尔班克斯作为巴特勒大学受托人的遗产。
