In September 1993, the F.W. Olin Foundation announced a $6 million gift to Luther for the construction of a new economics, business, mathematics, and computer science building, which was dedicated at Homecoming 1995.

Today, all computer science classes are held in the 43,000-square-foot Franklin W. Olin Building, which contains:

• 33 faculty offices
• four networked computer labs
• 10 computer classrooms
• a 137-seat auditorium/lecture hall
• large seminar room
• student study center
• conference/interview rooms

Classrooms are designed to be flexible to encourage interaction between faculty and students and the formation of small study groups. Access to the labs is free for students and available 16 or more hours per day. These advanced technological facilities give students an edge in an increasingly technological world.
