Black Engineering Building-Various Improvements
CP1275193
Initiated date: 5/1/2025
Contact: Mark Grief
Description:
This project will renovate 12,00 net assignable square feet in Black Engineering Building for the Mechanical Engineering Department. Space on the ground and third floors will become available when the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering moves to the Therkildsen Industrial Engineering Building in Spring 2025. This space will be renovated into experimental and computational research labs, offices, and support spaces. Evaluation of the building’s mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems during the planning phase will inform this renovation. Installing a manifold exhaust system with the potential to be expanded to support labs on multiple floors will provide greater flexibility for research now and in the future.
