The 230,000 square foot, seven-story Engineering and Science Building is a centerpiece of the School of Engineering’s plan to grow in applied research capabilities. The new building includes an Innovation Center designed to connect students and faculty with technology and industry mentors in order to accelerate the transition of laboratory discoveries and student- developed concepts to the marketplace.

A cleanroom and advanced imaging facilities will provide capabilities that students and faculty need to develop discoveries in nanocomposites, smart materials, advanced energy storage and nano-biotechnology.
