Two new buildings, one in Ogden and one in Layton, will provide exciting opportunities for students in the College of Engineering, Applied Science & Technology (EAST).

In addition to private and other funding, the Utah Legislature approved $39 million for the 143,000-square-foot Noorda Engineering & Applied Science Building, which will replace the 

outdated Technical Education Building, built in 1957, on the Ogden campus. The Noorda Building is expected to open in spring 2020 and will house the electrical, mechanical and systems engineering, engineering technology, computer science and professional sales departments.

At 91¶ÌÊÓƵ Davis, construction on the 50,000-square-foot Computer & Automotive Engineering Building will begin in May 2019 and is expected to take one year. The building will be used for automotive, computer and software engineering courses.

“State-of-the-art facilities mean innovative and collaborative learning spaces for students in computer science, computer engineering and automotive technology, where we see high demand from industry,” said David Ferro, EAST dean. “91¶ÌÊÓƵ leads state institutions in growth of engineering and computer science graduates, and these buildings will help match that growth.” 

The $20 million project will include a new entrance to campus from State Route 193, which will relieve pressure on the existing entry and allow faster access.
