The purpose of this addition is to address immediate space limitations, meet growing demand for instructional, research, and collaborative spaces for the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines, and create engineering-specific instructional and research laboratories. As regional, state, and national labor markets call for greater numbers of qualified STEM graduates, the proposed expansion will enable the University of Michigan-Flint to deliver the highest-quality education to ever-increasing numbers of students pursuing degrees in STEM disciplines.
