Construction on Engineering Building I, the new home of the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, is now completed. The new building brings the College of Engineering one step closer to its goal of relocating entirely to Centennial Campus. Classes will start in the new building in January 2005.

The 157,000 square feet of space includes three theater-style lecture halls with wireless technology connecting students, professors, and the Internet, a 4,800-square-foot lobby/atrium, administrative offices, conference rooms, laboratories, student lounges, computer labs, graduate student offices, and faculty offices and labs.

The College is already starting to plan for an exciting dedication ceremony on April 22, 2005.
