Generous Donors Make Building a Reality

Thanks to the generosity of our engineering community, we have met our fundraising goal for the Student Design Center (SDC) and are currently working on the final plans for the building. Two major donors put the project over the finish line.

To provide students the space and resources needed to become successful technological leaders the Fowler family made a $1.25 million donation for the Fowler Student Design Center. 

To raise the School's national profile and have incredible impact on students, civil engineering alumnus Ed Grady '72 contributed $1 million for the building and endowed scholarships. 

School of Engineering students, staff and faculty are extremely grateful to all who have helped make this project a reality.
