The University of Massachusetts Amherst is developing Engineering Laboratory II, a $20,616,000 facility providing graduate research laboratories for the Chemical Engineering and Civil/Environmental Engineering Departments. As phase II of the Engineering and Computer Science Complex, the facility is being built just south of the project’s first phase, the Computer Science Building. Designed by Ellenzweig Associates and Whitney Atwood Norcross, the 60,000-sf building will feature a 45-seat distance learning center and a 195-seat auditorium. Construction began in January 2002 and is slated for completion in December 2003. The contractor for the project is Fontaine Brothers of Springfield, Mass.
