Bowling Green State University Constructs Technology Engineering Innovation Center

Bowling Green State University (BGSU) is building the Technology Engineering Innovation Center, an approximately 73,000-sf facility that will anchor an evolving STEM corridor on the north part of campus. Designed by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, the split-level structure will act as a central hub for departments within the College of Technology, Architecture, and Applied Engineering. Seven large-scale, adaptable labs will enable experiential learning on the latest robotics and instrumentation, with specialized venues for advanced manufacturing, BIM/CAD, metals and machining, electronics and computer engineering technology, and visual communication. Ultra-modern classrooms and collaborative research areas will allow students to gain hands-on expertise to meet critical workforce needs.

The project includes a substantial renovation of BGSU’s existing technology building to provide an additional 24,000 sf, as well as ensuring flexibility for future growth. A new two-story expansion overlooking an updated high bay space will transmit abundant natural light to interior settings. The development will also house computer labs, program labs, meeting rooms, and administrative and faculty offices. Heating, cooling, and electrical systems will undergo major improvements to enhance the facility’s energy performance.

Representing an investment of approximately $33 million, the Technology Engineering Innovation Center is being delivered by Mosser Construction. Ground was officially broken in September of 2024 and completion is expected in spring of 2026.
