BASF Supports Renovation of Science Lab at South Carolina School for the Deaf and the Blind

The BASF sites in Mauldin and White Stone were part of a recent opening celebration for the refurbished science lab at The South Carolina School for the Deaf and the Blind (SCSDB).

This milestone marks the successful completion of an initiative driven by the vision and dedication of the school's science staff and the generosity of community sponsors, including BASF.

In 2024, science teachers at the School for the Deaf identified the need to modernize the science lab and envisioned a space equipped with state-of-the-art tools to enhance the educational experience for students. New lab additions include  visual aid models, microscopes, 3-D atom and gas exchange models, a weather station, a chemical storage cabinet and more. This upgrade ensures that students have access to the most advanced resources, which supports a rigorous science curriculum.

“Supporting the SCSDB’s newly updated science lab is a source of great pride for our team,” said Gerald Murphy, site director for BASF in Mauldin and White Stone. “SCSDB is an important part of our community and we at BASF are proud to partner with the school to help inspire the next generation of scientists.”
