Governor Brian Kemp was in his hometown of Athens Tuesday, taking part in the dedication of the new STEM building at the University of Georgia.
From the UGA College of Engineering…
The $65 million I-STEM building will provide research and collaborative space for faculty and graduate students in chemistry and engineering. The facility represents the future of research and education in the STEM fields at UGA.
The Driftmier Engineering Center serves the heart of UGA’s undergraduate and graduate programs. The 110,000-square-foot building, constructed in 1966, is undergoing a major revitalization. The first phase of the project, completed in fall 2019, significantly expanded and enhanced instructional laboratories and classrooms while adding new spaces for collaborative work. A second phase of the renovation, scheduled to be completed in fall 2020, will add a modern auditorium classroom and other new instructional and collaborative spaces.
The Boyd Graduate Studies Research Center is home to state-of-the-art research laboratories for UGA College of Engineering faculty and students. Completed in fall 2019, a significant renovation of the building’s first floor created new research laboratories, collaborative spaces, and more than 1,500-square feet of space for graduate student work spaces.
The Riverbend Research Complex houses research labs and offices for faculty and students spanning biomedical, biological, materials and device work. Major facilities include our micro/nano fabrication facility, high-velocity water flow tunnel and a broad range of characterization capabilities.
The Whitehall Engineering Education and Research Campus features large-scale research and testing facilities for all engineering disciplines. The campus includes the Structural Engineering Testing Hub (STRENGTH Lab), which provides both structural and materials testing capabilities. The Geomaterials Laboratory is also located at Whitehall, with facilities to conduct fundamental geotechnical engineering testing.
