The Information Technology and Engineering (ITE)
Building will provide much needed space for teaching,
computational research, and student projects for the
School of Engineering and Applied Science. The ITE
Building is one of several new buildings that are part
of the University’s science initiative focused on
sustaining the ongoing
work of existing faculty and attracting new researchers.
The ITE building will occupy a prominent location at the
corner of Whitehead Road and Stadium Road adjacent to
Olsson Hall. The project will consist of a five story,
100,000 gsf building with a basement and penthouse
mechanical space.
This new research facility will feature modern
architectural features and will help to define the south
entrance to the science and engineering precinct. The
main entrance to the ITE Building will be on Engineer’s
Way and the new building will be connected to Olsson
Hall at the basement level. The focus of the ITE
Building will be Information Technology and the building
will provide new space for classroom laboratories,
research laboratories, departmental and faculty offices,
and a 150 seat auditorium. The ITE Building will be
designed and constructed concurrently with the College
of Arts and Sciences Physical and Life Science Research
Building and is to be delivered on a fast-track
schedule.
Project construction is scheduled for completion summer
2011.
