Facilities Updates and Timelines
Facilities Updates
3 January 2023
This year we kick off many facility moves and updates throughout the college. All of our moves and renovations will help better position the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering to support research activities while making more efficient use of space for many years to come. We will be regularly updating impacted faculty and staff throughout the year via email. However, this site will serve as a central information hub for all facility updates being carried out throughout the college, so be sure to check back here often. This page will include at timelines for large-scale projects, and regular updates on our progress.
In order to help facilitate these moves and renovations and improve facilities bandwidth, we are in the process of searching for and adding an additional project manager to join the college facilities staff. We are also enabling each department to individually work with the University’s Planning, Design & Construction for small facilities jobs to aid in reducing any bottleneck issues.
Some of our significant projects include moving into the Malachowsky Hall for Data Science and Information Technology (MH) building, renovating the Chemical Engineering Building, and relocating the headquarters of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering into the New Engineering Building. As timelines for these significant projects are constructed, they will be posted here. The current initial timeline for moving into MH the can be found here: MH Update Timeline This timeline will be updated regularly as plans are expanded, adjusted, and finalized.
If you have any questions or concerns during these many facilities upgrades that is not addressed by this site, please reach out to Alina Zare, Associate Dean for Research and Facilities.
