Aeronautics and Engineering Building Addition

The existing Aeronautics and Engineering Building (AEB, formerly the Aeronautics and Technology Building) opened in 2014. The 55,000 s.f. building houses classrooms, instructional and research laboratories, air traffic control simulation facilities, and academic administration offices and support spaces. The building was planned with a future addition to accommodate the program’s anticipated growth. This project will build an approximately 29,000 s.f. addition to provide additional research and instructional lab space, faculty and administration office space as well as a 200-seat lecture hall. The existing footprint of the proposed addition is constrained by several underground utilities which cannot be relocated and must be protected during construction. A Program of Requirements is complete. A conceptual design has been approved and is being circulated to solicit philanthropic support for the project.
