Teaching and research laboratories, student design spaces, conference rooms, faculty offices and ample study space will set the new building apart as Central Florida’s epicenter for research and economic development.
With an estimated total cost of $45 million, the 2-story building will sit on the Northwest side of campus, adjacent to the Innovation, Science, and Technology building.
