The Washkewicz College of Engineering addition expanded Fenn Hall to create a world-class facility that supports an engaged engineering education and graduates ready-to-go engineers, prepared to solve real-world engineering challenges.
The expansion facilitates these goals with state-of-the-art engineering facilities, including a multistory maker space that forms the intellectual “hub” of both the building and the campus community. It attracts students from the engineering, fine arts, and business disciplines to build, refine and test new products.
The facility includes laboratory spaces for chemical and biomedical engineering, civil and environmental engineering, electrical and computer engineering, engineering technology, and mechanical engineering. It also includes classrooms, collaborative learning spaces and faculty offices.
