Campus Map

This is home to our College of Science and Engineering, and its departments of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Computer Science, Geosciences, Mathematics, and Physics and Astronomy.

The building honors Robert A. Thornton, the first dean of SFSU's School of Science, and the University's first African American dean. A theoretical physicist, Thornton worked with Albert Einstein before joining the SFSU faculty in 1956.

Our observatory, located on the top floor, is open Monday and Wednesday evenings. The Charles Hagar Planetarium is on the fourth floor.
