University Breaks Ground on New Engineering Building
The University at Buffalo recently broke ground on a new $61 million state-of-the-art classroom and laboratory building for the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences on the North Campus. Designed by renowned architects Perkins + Will, the 130,000-square-foot structure will be home to the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and the Department of Electrical Engineering, and will increase UB Engineering’s facility space by nearly one-third, accommodating significant new growth in the engineering school’s student enrollment, faculty hires and research expenditures. The building is expected to be completed in 2011. Its construction is a major project for “Building UB,” the university’s comprehensive physical plan—a key component of UB 2020. Read more.
