Engineering Research Building

About the Project
A four-story addition to the School of Engineering’s East Hall building, this new facility will serve as a research and economic development hub for the engineering school. A first-floor atrium will connect the building’s facilities and will house the school’s career services and a 9,000 SF Innovation Maker Facility. The top three floors will house research labs for mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering and computer science. The building will also house a vivarium, used for keeping and observing wildlife. It is scheduled for completion in 2020.
Dunbar has been a leader in the structural engineering practice for more than a generation. Their thoughtfulness and thoroughness are matched with an inventive approach to both the simplicity and complexity of structural design challenges.
