Overview

The Thurston Hall Addition for Instructional Labs is a new four-story addition to the Thurston-Kimball-Bard complex, on the Pew Engineering Quad.  The project is 50,550 GSF and will provide a new presence for the Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering on the Pew Engineering Quad, promote interaction and collaboration between Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, Material Science & Engineering and other Engineering students. Additionally, new research labs will be created for Material Science & Engineering. The building will consist of state-of-the-art facilities for teaching, learning and research by creating highly efficient laboratories, open environments to support interaction and collaboration, and flexible and adaptable space to support multi-purpose use.
