Case Western Reserve University will break ground in May of 2024 on the $300 million Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Building in Cleveland. Designed by HGA and Van Auken Akins Architects, the 189,000-sf facility will house the School of Engineering and provide additional capacity for the College of Arts and Sciences. Flexible research labs will be complemented by dedicated technical suites for the discovery of new medical treatments, energy solutions, and sustainable manufacturing modalities. The five-story structure will also accommodate offices, gathering spaces, and café.
The development is part of a strategic revitalization of Case Quad and will feature a landscaped outdoor courtyard that links to an ADA-accessible pathway. A sophisticated glazed façade will put science on display while supplying abundant natural light throughout the facility, which is targeting LEED Platinum certification.
Representing a contract value of $200 million, the project is being delivered by Discovery Builders, a joint venture of Turner Construction, Adrian Maldonado & Associates, Next Generation Construction, and The AKA Team. Occupancy is expected in fall of 2026.
