Thomas & Nell Lafferre Hall addition/renovation

This $24.3 million project will renovate the 1922 and 1935 additions of the building formerly known as Engineering Building East. The project will replace approximately 25,000 gsf of substandard space with 60,000 gsf of new construction in a three-story building. Improvements will be made to general classroom space, the building exterior, and to structural, mechanical, electrical, access and life-safety systems. Renovations will benefit the Capsule Pipeline Research Center, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering and Nuclear Engineering. Construction began September 2007 and is expected to be complete August 2009.
