New Building Groundbreaking Ceremony

This concept scheme shows the new $75M Engineering building viewed from the northwest. The edge of Ketter Hall is visible on the right, just west of the new building. In 2008, UB demolished the trailers that had occupied this site. Ribbon-cutting is scheduled for 2011.
