Story

The Kennedy Hall of Engineering building, dedicated on October 17, 2007, houses 14 electrical engineering labs, 6 classrooms, 36 facility offices, Dean’s suite and a clean room. When construction started in early 2006, major utility relocation was required. During the course of the next couple months, the bridge from the Eberhard Center to the Keller Engineering Lab took shape. The building is a 3-story steel structure clad with metal panels and curtainwall glazing. The building is slated for LEED silver certification. To make this achievable, the building has a live roof, extended building management system, rain gardens, low-flow toilets, waterless urinals and electronic faucets. The glass building allows for 75% daylight views. Summit was responsible for the installation of all landscape materials, underground irrigation systems and the rain garden.
