This facility provides resources for interdisciplinary, undergraduate engineering education. The building received a LEED silver rating from the US Green Building Council and incorporates several sustainable design techniques including:
* the use of natural daylight in 75% of the building's interior spaces including 1-1/2 below-grade floors
* the use of high performance glass
* mechanized sunshades with solar tracking on the fades
* a raised floor air displacement system reduces cooling loads
* an integrated retention basin that captures storm water for landscape irrigation
* increased insulation at walls and roof
* the use of materials with high recycled content
The building houses a centralized student machine shop, rapid prototyping facilities, biomedical/chemical engineering labs, studio classrooms, design fabrication and assembly spaces, a lecture hall, project display areas, and a lounge/study space.
