The Advanced Engineering Building project, completed for the State Public Works Division, spans three stories and 52,313 square feet at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. This new, state-of-the-art facility was built to support engineering research and education, featuring advanced classrooms and laboratories tailored to foster innovation and collaboration. The project also includes a thoughtfully designed courtyard with gathering spaces, an aviary enclosure for drone testing, and seamlessly integrated underground utility tie-ins to the existing central plant, ensuring operational efficiency. Constructed on a bustling campus, the building showcases a robust structural steel frame, a curtain wall and metal panel exterior, and a single-ply roof. Recognized for its excellence, the project was honored with the 2024 Best of the Best Projects Award in the Higher Education/Research category by Engineering News Record, cementing its status as a benchmark for innovation in educational infrastructure. This facility serves as a lasting legacy that will inspire and empower future generations of engineering students.
