The Science and Engineering Complex Renovation for Chemical and Biological Engineering project will enhance research capabilities by upgrading laboratory spaces, supporting institutional STEM initiatives, and improving facilities for research staff. The renovated areas will also serve as a central hub for Chemical and Biological Engineering on campus, providing space to store research materials and supporting a wide range of academic activities.

Located on the 3rd floor of the Science and Engineering Complex, the project will reconfigure multiple areas to meet departmental needs while allowing for future growth and adaptability. Existing computational offices and laboratories will be transformed into state-of-the-art wet laboratories, enabling advanced research and development in Chemical and Biological Engineering.

In addition to improving research functionality, the renovation is expected to strengthen faculty recruitment and retention, increase the effective use of academic space, and support the University’s long-term STEM mission. The project will include all necessary mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and life-safety upgrades required to fully support the enhanced laboratory environment.
