Herak School of Engineering

Herak School of Engineering Renovation

An excellent engineering program requires up-to-date technology and tools. By making improvements to the Herak Center for Engineering, we are demonstrating our commitment to quality engineering education. In the process of renovating Herak Center, laboratories will be upgraded and equipped with the latest technological tools, classrooms will be redesigned for flexible and efficient learning, and a stimulating and aesthetically pleasing environment will be created which will be conducive to learning.

Phase I changes to the Herak Center for Engineering were completed in November 2002. Over 400 engineering students and nearly 20 faculty members are now enjoying 7,000 new square feet of usable program space, which includes a hydrology lab, student project lab, two new 40-seat classrooms and a seminar room.The expansion, reconfiguration, and update of six labs on the first and second floors are creating a more functional, learning environment. Expansion of the north lobby to accommodate student breakout spaces and project displays, along with the addition of faculty offices are the other visible changes to the building. Behind the scenes,upgraded electrical and electronic infrastructure throughout the building includes a higher speed internal computer network system to meet current and future needs of all building users.

Phase II A 17,000-square-foot addition to the existing Herak Center for Engineering will allow the University to implement its strategic plan for new programmatic offerings in engineering. The addition will include a new power lab, computer lab, two classrooms, faculty offices, conference and support space. Room for limited program expansion is also included. The new wing will be constructed south of the existing facility.
