The University of Memphis is constructing the $41 million STEM Research and Classroom Building to provide leading-edge environments for programs in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Designed by SmithGroup and A2H, the two-story, 65,000-sf facility will feature labs for advanced manufacturing, biomaterials, cybersecurity, data science, and earthquake engineering. The collaborative structure will also include areas for student design projects and competitions, as well as a dedicated research lab for the Institute for Intelligent Systems. On the second floor, a reconfigurable classroom will enable a range of group sizes to engage in active learning. Ground was broken on the facility in October of 2022 with occupancy expected in mid-2024. Upon completion, the existing engineering building will be renovated and connected to the new development by a walkway.
