Project Details

The new building is situated at the corner of 14th Street and B Street adjacent to the Marketing and Communications building. The ER+SC will be two stories tall and approximately 20,000 GSF. The occupied floors are composed predominately of teaching labs, offices, and research labs. The ER+SC building will bridge the transition between the campus and neighborhood character by celebrating the pedestrian through street level articulation and human scale spaces. Building upon the concept of a ‘multi-tool’, the building unfolds to reveal its cutting-edge activities inside.


The project is currently in schematic design and design will continue through Spring 2024.  Construction activity is scheduled to begin Summer 2024. Total project budget $28m, planned opening late Fall 2026.
