CITE Unveils Future Engineering Lab Building

University officials unveiled a new $3.5 million engineering facility. The laboratory will be located on 3rd Avenue across from the Morrow Library. A key component of Marshall's renewed  engineering program, the facility will have 16,000 square feet of space for a classroom, three offices, and six lab environments. The six labs will be used for conducting materials, soils, hydraulics, and environmental experiments. There is also space for another lab in the future, probably for mechanical engineering. "This is extremely important for the College of Information Technology and Engineering. It is significantly important for undergraduate engineering programs because we need good, functional laboratories for accreditation of our Bachelor of Science, which we hope to achieve in 2009," said Dr. Szwilski, Interim Dean of CITE.
