The project will consist of approximately 57,000 gross square feet of renovation and 66,000 gross square feet of new building construction. The project will include classrooms, research and teaching laboratories, faculty offices, student support spaces, and regional boiler and electrical distribution equipment replacement. The new facility will provide an active learning studio approach to facilitate entrepreneurial problem solving to complement the more product development-oriented laboratories of industry partners, encourage multidisciplinary collaboration in the context of 21st century engineering, and offer academic pathways to exceptional careers for decades to come.
