By the 1960s, Haymond Hall of Science had become outdated, and Stanley Martin went out to let everyone know about the need for a new science building.
After hearing a sermon by President Stanley Martin at Wesley Methodist Church in Morgantown, Mabel Neville Christopher (1918) and her husband, Frank, a mine owner in the Scotts Run area, gave a substantial gift toward a new sciene building in memory of their son, Ward, who had died in an automobile accident in 1962.
Hyma Auditorium, the Planetarium, and the George Rossbach Herbarium are located in this building.
