Tenants

[edit]

Departments

[edit]

The building is the new home to Computer Science and Electrical Engineering departments.[2] However, the building supports five other departments such as Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, Industrial and Systems Engineering and Chemical and Biological Engineering.[4]

Labs
