Facilities

The Center for Manufacturing Excellence is to be housed in a new building located between two of the buildings of the School of Engineering (Carrier Hall and Old Chemistry) on the Lyceum Circle. The 47,000-square-foot building will have three floors. The first floor will house a 12,000-square-foot “factory floor,” along with three classrooms; the other two floors will include office and meeting space for faculty and students. The factory floor will have a central assembly area and a final finishing area in addition to three main manufacturing lines: wood, plastic and metal.

Construction started on March 16, 2009 and is expected to be completed in late fall 2010.
