Here We Grow Again

To accommodate steadily increasing student enrollment and the faculty who continue to join our outstanding team, a new engineering and science building is being constructed. Scheduled for completion in 2011, this $66 million facility will provide additional space for faculty, students and research programs.

This new building continues a period of unprecedented facilities growth for the Watson School.

Since 1997, there has been a 90 percent increase in the space available to the Watson School, which is currently located in the Engineering Building, Bartle Library, Computer Center and Biotechnology Building of the Innovative Technologies Complex.

In 2007, a $3.1 million renovation of the Watson School's Engineering Building added 18,774 square feet of new space to the School. Existing space was  remodeled and new instructional and research laboratories, conference rooms and teaching assistant offices were added. In addition to the work in the Engineering Building, a computer server room was created to house research equipment in the Computer Center's ground floor and instructional laboratories were added on the library's ground floor. With the completion of these projects and in advance of the new building's completion, the Watson School currently occupies 98,800 square feet on campus.

The Watson School Dean's Office is located in the Library Building at LSG-546. Prospective students visiting the Watson School for the first time should contact the Admissions Office to arrange a campus tour.
