A four-story, 130,000-sq-ft steel-framed structure with a stone and brick exterior is the new home of Weber State’s engineering, applied science and technology departments. The building features classrooms and specialized laboratories, a clean room, microscopy room and an anechoic chamber. Inside, structural and mechanical systems, seismic bracing and electrical panels are all exposed to embrace the university’s vision of showcasing the building’s engineering.

After demolishing the old Technical Education Building, crews had to negotiate the campus’ significant grades, as one of the most requested features for the building was grade access for equipment. By situating the building into the hillside, the project team provided grade access on three of the four levels of the building.
