À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ

The University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ broke ground this week on , an $88-million building that will feature some of the best engineering research and teaching facilities in the world.

The ground-breaking event took place on Thursday November 12, at 1:30 pm at Engineering 5 on the University’s east campus.

The new Engineering 7 (E7) facility will feature an additive manufacturing—or 3D printing—laboratory and an indoor flight arena for testing autonomous and robotic vehicles.

It will also accommodate growth from À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ’s new biomedical engineering program and the expansion of the Faculty of Engineering’s highly popular mechatronics engineering program. It will house the Faculty’s new teaching innovation, the multidisciplinary Engineering Ideas Clinicâ„¢, where undergraduate students will integrate classroom theory with hands-on learning as they design, build, test and refine ideas.
