The garage sale is being held in preparation for the upcoming expansion and renovation of the science building, which is starting this summer.

Items for sale will include furniture; antique physics, biology and chemistry equipment; and scientific glassware. The scientific equipment is not recommended for use, but as antiques. Fossils and stones will be available for free or minimal cost on a first-come, first served basis.

The sale will run from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Items for sale can be found in the following locations:

•First floor: Physics equipment 
•Second floor: Furniture 
•Third floor: Chemistry and biology equipment 

Items may be purchased only with cash or checks.

Parking is available in the lot behind the Roy & Lillie Cullen Building, which is located at the corner of University Avenue and Maple Street.

This summer, Southwestern is starting Phase One of a $25 million project to create a new science center. Phase One of the project involves the construction of a 23,700-square foot addition on the southeast corner of the building. The addition is expected to be completed in time for the spring 2016 semester.
