Brown University Completes Engineering & Physics Addition

Published 6/28/2001

Brown University's new 17,000-sf two-level Engineering and Physics Addition has been completed by the George B.H. Macomber Company of Boston. The addition unites the existing 1960s complex and provides cutting-edge labs and teaching spaces. The new structure, designed by Payette Associates of Boston, provides space for digital imaging; rapid prototyping; computing; and electronic, mechanical, electrical, civil, and bioengineering labs. A state-of-the-art "studio laboratory" provides flexibility for lectures and lab studies to occur in the same room. All of the labs feature extensive fiber optics for voice/data transmission.
