Science and Engineering Hall Building Highlights

From high-tech research space to collaborative teaching labs, the Science and Engineering Hall (SEH) offers the infrastructure necessary to support our talented community.

A few of the building's key spaces:

High Bay Lab

A unique three-story facility with an integrated strong-wall and strong-floor that will enable researchers to apply stress tests on large ground transportation and aerospace structures. (Lower Level 1)

Imaging Suite

A low-vibration and shielded environment that will house state-of-the-art microscopy equipment to probe into nano-scale electronic, optical, or biological systems. (Lower Level 2)

Nanofabrication Facility

A Class 100 clean room environment to fabricate and test devices and structures—ranging from the next generation of transistors to state-of-the-art biosensors for cancer detection—at the scale of a few nanometers. (Lower Level 2)

Biology Aquatics Lab

Includes facilities for maintaining freshwater fish as well as marine invertebrates. These creatures play an important role in experiments, including the study of physiological structures and the genetics that underlie immunity. (Lower Level 2)

Biology Field Room

Designed to allow for the processing of field-collected samples to be cleaned and transitioned into the clean lab spaces. (Ground Floor)

Greenhouse

Includes three bays (one for teaching and two for research) with separate temperature controls to grow plants from different environments. (Floor 8)

Teaching Labs

Instructional labs designed for hands-on learning where students and faculty work together using the latest instructional technologies. (Lower Levels 2-8)

Modern Multidisciplinary Design

To offer high visibility both on individual floors and among multiple floors to encourage building users to see more of each other’s work and expand collaboration among faculty and students.
