Shelby Center Phase II

As Auburn Engineering continues to drive pioneering research, the modern Shelby Center for Engineering Technology will serve as a central location for engineering research. Phase II of the complex will include an Advanced Research Laboratory. Building and a new Mechanical Engineering Building. The Advanced Research Lab will create space for both ongoing and emerging research, transforming the future of many of the college's research efforts. In this building theories will be proven and will be translated into new discoveries that greatly impact our quality of life. It will contain new clean rooms as well as specialty lab space. In addition, the Advanced Research Lab Building will be a critical component of strengthening our graduate program. Post-doctoral and graduate student offices will provide graduate students increased accessibility to senior faculty members and other students. These offices will allow graduate students proximity to research activities and will foster a sense of community and collaboration.

The new Mechanical Engineering Building will provide much needed space for classrooms and student study areas, as well as faculty offices and laboratories. This facility will enable the department to continue its reputation for outstanding engineering education and leading research and will free up space in Ross Hall to accommodate the rapidly evolving and growing graduate program in chemical engineering.
