Brigham Young University Makes History with Groundbreaking New Research Facility
Provo, UT – Brigham Young University (BYU) has officially opened the doors to its brand-new, state-of-the-art research facility, marking a major milestone in the university’s history.
The $100 million facility, named the ” BYU Engineering and Technology Building,” is the largest and most advanced research facility in the university’s history. The building spans over 200,000 square feet and features cutting-edge laboratories, research spaces, and collaborative work areas.
“This new facility represents a major leap forward for BYU and our research community,” said BYU President Kevin J Worthen. “We are committed to providing our students and faculty with the best possible resources and facilities to conduct innovative and impactful research.”
The new facility is home to several research centers and institutes, including the BYU Center for Robotics, the BYU Energy Research Laboratory, and the BYU Nanotechnology Laboratory.
One of the key features of the facility is its emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration. The building is designed to bring together researchers from various disciplines, including engineering, computer science, biology, and physics, to work on complex problems and projects.
“We believe that some of the most exciting research happens at the intersection of different disciplines,” said Dr. Michael A. Jensen, dean of the BYU College of Engineering. “This new facility is designed to facilitate that kind of collaboration and innovation.”
The facility also features several unique research tools and equipment, including a state-of-the-art 3D printing lab, a nanotechnology fabrication facility, and a high-performance computing center.
BYU researchers are already making use of the new facility to conduct innovative research projects. For example, a team of researchers from the BYU Center for Robotics is using the facility to develop new robotic systems for search and rescue applications.
“We’re excited to have access to this incredible new facility,” said Dr. Marc Killpack, director of the BYU Center for Robotics. “It’s going to enable us to take our research to the next level and make a real impact in the world.”
The new research facility is just one example of BYU’s commitment to innovation and research excellence. The university has a long history of producing cutting-edge research and has been recognized as one of the top research universities in the country.
