Sciences' Computer Science and Electrical Engineering programs.
A new, 130,000-square-foot classroom and laboratory building for
the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences is now helping to
accommodate rapid growth in the school and support job-generating
research and translation in engineering fields. The building is
home to the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and the
Department of Electrical Engineering, both of which play key roles
in advancement of research in “strategic strengths”
fields of information and computing technology, and integrated
nanostructured systems. The $75 million, LEED-Gold facility was
designed by architects Perkins + Will. It features a
