Middle Tennessee State University Breaks Ground on Applied Engineering Building

Middle Tennessee State University broke ground in June of 2023 on the $74.8 million Applied Engineering Building in Murfreesboro. Strategically sited next to the new School of Concrete and Construction Management, the 89,000-sf facility will house the university's renowned mechatronics program and other engineering technology courses. Specialized learning environments such as the Co-Bot Workplace Development Center will provide students with unique opportunities for experiential education. Designed by Wold and Cooper Carry, the structure will include teaching and research labs, instructional venues, and a range of sophisticated instrumentation suites. Denark Construction is the general contractor for the project, which is slated for completion by fall of 2025.
