The University of Notre Dame broke ground in November of 2007 on the $69.4 million Stinson-Remick Hall of Engineering in Notre Dame, Ind. The 142,000-sf facility will house a nanotechnology research center, an energy center, an 11,800-sf semiconductor processing and device fabrication cleanroom, and an undergraduate learning center. Designed to enhance interdisciplinary research, the project is slated for completion by late 2009. Research Facilities Design (RFD) of San Diego is providing laboratory programming and design services for the facility. The project architect is BSA LifeStructures of Indianapolis, Ind. A 50 kW solar power system array and supporting infrastructure valued at $500,000 is being contributed by General Electric. Providing an estimated 55,000 kilowatt-hours of carbon free electricity annually, the array will be monitored by a system in the College of Engineering’s new learning center, enabling the array to be used as an interactive model for teaching and research.
