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.

Engineering Building II
3D Tour Description
Engineering Building II is a modern academic and research facility designed to support hands-on learning, collaboration and innovation within engineering disciplines. The building combines open, light-filled gathering spaces with specialized labs and work areas, creating an environment where instruction, experimentation and teamwork are closely connected.
The main entry opens into a large, multi-level atrium defined by high ceilings, expansive glass walls and a prominent system of open staircases with metal railings. Natural light fills the space through floor-to-ceiling windows, while seating areas with lounge furniture and tables provide space for studying, meeting or informal interaction.
Beyond the central atrium, the building is organized through long, accessible corridors with polished floors, overhead lighting and clearly marked classrooms, labs and offices. Seating areas and workstations are positioned along some hallways, offering additional space for individual or small group work.
Instructional and laboratory spaces throughout the building support a range of engineering activities. Workshop-style rooms include durable work surfaces, tools and equipment for fabrication and prototyping. Other labs feature electronics workstations, testing equipment and organized bench spaces where students can build, assemble and troubleshoot projects. These areas are designed with flexibility in mind, allowing for both structured instruction and independent work.
Collaborative spaces are integrated throughout, including rooms with tables, chairs and writable surfaces for group work. Many of these areas are located near windows, providing natural light and views of campus while supporting extended use.
