Engineering Buildings I, II and III

Home of the College of Engineering

Engineering Buildings (EB) I, II and III support both undergraduate and graduate programs where students engage in research and lab work under faculty whose projects range across innovation and engineering.

EB I houses the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. Because of its departmental makeup, EB I is a place where the science of the very small, like molecules and biological systems, meets the science of materials.

Connected by design with high transparency and communal areas like atriums, EB II is not just a place for formal instruction. It’s where students cross paths, brainstorm, debug code, hold lab meetings and push boundaries in computing and electrical systems. On the east wing, the Department of Computer Science has dedicated teaching and research spaces. The building also houses the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

EB III stands out for its commitment to sustainability. Its rooftop garden, planted with drought-resistant vegetation, helps cut energy costs and serves as a living example of how engineering and environmental responsibility go hand in hand. The 248,000-square-foot building includes dozens of teaching and research labs, along with highly specialized spaces such as wind tunnels, a flight test cell and anechoic chambers.

Meet Sonia. She’ll guide you through Engineering Buildings I, II and III:

An Engineering Landmark

EB I was one of the first engineering buildings constructed on Centennial Campus.

Designed for Innovation

EB II features state-of-the-art teaching labs and collaborative research spaces that support both undergraduate and graduate creativity.

Sustainability from the Top

EB III distinctive green roof crowns the building’s high-bay annex, helping reduce heating and cooling costs by up to half.
