Duffield Hall Expansion

Overview

The construction project will provide more than 48,000 square feet of new space, including teaching, research, collaboration, and maker spaces. Among the improvements will be a full, embedded, low-vibration, quantum-ready research wing for work in quantum computing, as well as additional lab space to support work in artificial intelligence, robotics and semiconductor materials and devices. Also included in the project are about 83,000 square feet of strategic interior renovations in what has been known as Phillips Hall to meet current research and teaching needs. The scope includes new cladding and an energy efficient building envelope. The project will be completed in 2 phases. One in summer of 2027 and the remainder by the end of 2027.
