The new Science Replacement Building will be the new home of the School of Engineering beginning 2024. Within this building, there will be ten modern teaching labs, seven shared research labs, three major facilities (including strong wall/strong floor, engine room, HVAC training systems, and wind tunnel), two studio-style maker spaces (“garages”), one student-training machine shop, computer labs, student spaces, and offices. When the new building opens in early 2024, it will mark a new chapter in the then 65-year young School and allow the School to better serve our students.
