Engineering Building Mailer
Over the last 10 years, enrollment in Tech’s College of Engineering has grown 52%, resulting in a space shortage. In its design, the new 100,000-square-foot engineering building nods expectantly toward the future, but internally it will celebrate the history, legacy and pride of Tech Engineering.

Engineering Building Mailer
Along with classrooms and labs, this signature facility will provide flexible, engaging, cross-disciplinary spaces that change how students learn. Technology-infused classrooms and labs can be repurposed and reconfigured quickly and will facilitate collaboration on real-world problems. Ample formal and informal gathering spaces will encourage conversations and help build a community of scholar-practitioners.
