Boston College is betting big on the sciences. School officials are calling it an ambitious step forward that combines the college’s longstanding strength in the liberal arts with its newer expansion into the sciences. “That is where big leaps forward happen.”Construction is scheduled to begin in spring 2019 at the school’s campus west of Boston. It also will bring a new engineering major to campus as the school seeks an edge in competition with other major universities. The new facility is Boston College’s latest step in a recent push toward the sciences.
