Renderings: Engineering Student Center
With planning for new programs and majors underway, the new Engineering Student Center provides critically needed space.
The new student center will expand space for advising, counseling, tutoring, workshops, mentoring, leadership, PREP/T-PREP, and more.
Programs will include Girls in Engineering, K-12 outreach, faculty diversity, and engagement.
A wrap-around terrace on the third floor offers outdoor gathering space, as well as direct views to the Campanile, Memorial Glade, and the University Library.
Three floors will provide an active hub for collaboration and connection, with visible and open space that welcomes everyone.
On the horizon: the new Engineering Student Center, will transform the student experience with cross-campus collaboration, innovation and entrepreneurship. Its four floors of dedicated student space will create an environment of inspiration for the visionary ideas that will help transform our world.
Renewing the existing Bechtel Engineering Center that overlooks Memorial Glade, the new building will add 35,500 square feet across two new floors. The building will be funded entirely by philanthropy.
Construction is anticipated to begin in summer 2023, and to be complete in early 2025.
