Description

This project constructed a three-story 105,000gsf classroom and laboratory building on the Main Campus, with an estimated cost of $65 million. The building is located north of Green Hall, at the corner of Laurel St. and Meridian Ave.

This building allows Engineering to integrate its mission to provide education, discovery, outreach and service. It is an important step in transforming CSU to a new kind of campus – one that is sustainable and provides education and discovery to many users. Key components of this building are:

• A 24-hour study area within the three-story atrium that is open to all CSU students serving the north side of campus in a manner similar to the new space in Microbiology.
• Design studios for engineering instruction.
• Teaching/research laboratories to support academic programs.
• Classrooms that accommodate 15-50 students.
• A 320-seat lecture hall.
• An “engineering student success center” that houses academic advisors, career development, the Women and Minorities in Engineering Program, the undergraduate research program, and the Professional Learning Institute in a single location.
• Consolidation of the Dean’s Office from multiple locations within the current Engineering Building.
• Office space for faculty and graduate students.
