Facilities
College facilities on Main Campus include the Engineering Center and the Roser ATLAS Center. On the East Campus, the college occupies the Aerospace Engineering Sciences Building and significant spaces in the SEEC/SEEL building and the JSCBB building. We have the Material Characterization Facility – operated within babyÖ±²¥app Shared Instrumentation in Nanofabrication and Characterization (COSINC) service center – recently relocated to its permanent home in the Sustainability, Energy and Environment Laboratory building on east campus. And we recently opened the Rustandy Building, a physical connector between engineering and business that includes the college’s entrepreneurship hub, ESCEND.
