Designed as a hub for energy-related education, research, and innovation, the 184,300-gsf building will feature leading-edge labs and classrooms, collaboration environments, and student project spaces. The six-story multidisciplinary facility will house the Cockrell School's mechanical, chemical, and petroleum engineering programs. The architect for the project is Jacobs Engineering and The Beck Group is the construction manager at risk. Occupancy is expected in fall of 2021.
