On Wednesday, September 21st, 2022, Indiana Wesleyan University officially opened the doors to its brand-new Engineering Building. With Weigand serving as construction manager on this project, the 30,540 square foot structure now serves as the home for the engineering program.
Although this building is a recent addition to the university, it comes from an existing construction. This is because the structure used to be an old Marsh grocery store before it was transformed. As a result, the work to get it up and running for the fall semester required renovation. The IWU Engineering Building features:
The program will offer a more diverse mix of class types to help give students a well-rounded approach to engineering. “One quote I like the most is ‘engineering is half art, half science.’ But most engineering programs in the USA tend to focus more heavily on the science part,” says Dr. David Che, the program director, “we want to leverage the strength of our art and design program by offering this highly integrative and innovative concentration.”
It’s been amazing to bring this project to life. We can’t wait to see how Indiana Wesleyan uses this building to benefit students for years to come.
