Facilitating Collaboration:
Dean's Message
|
 |
|
"The impact of the new facilities will reach far beyond the Chemical and Biomedical Engineering departments because these two disciplines underpin, intersect with, and catalyze work in many other areas of engineering, science, technology, and medicine. With the goal of collaboration engrained into the design, the new building will stimulate connections that can lead to advances in cutting-edge technologies, and that will support the strategic research goals of the College of Engineering as well as the broader Penn State enterprise."
- Amr S. Elnashai
The Harold and Inge Marcus Dean of Engineering

The Chemical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering Building is currently the largest project in Penn State's capital budget. Total building costs are projected at $150 million, $10 million of which must be raised by the College of Engineering.
We ask that our dedicated alumni, friends, and corporate partners consider supporting the new building project
through a gift to name a classroom, laboratory, or collaboration space, or by making a one-time gift through our
online giving system

The New Chemical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering Building at Penn State
|
Designed to meet the needs of students and faculty for decades to come, the new Chemical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering Building at Penn State will open in 2019.
The six-level, 194,500-square-foot building will feature state-of-the-art classroom and laboratory spaces designed to foster collaboration, both within and across the two departments, as well as with neighboring colleges and institutes.
The building will reflect Penn State's deep commitment to excellence in engineering education and research--conveying to future students, faculty, and researchers that Penn State is a committed partner for their work and study, and a place to bring their thirst for knowledge, ideas and innovations, and their passion for teaching and learning engineering.
