The much-anticipated Interdisciplinary Engineering Building (IEB) opened its doors this spring, built on a foundation that exceeds its physical footprint.

We want to thank our community, who came together to support our vision of providing an academic home for all undergraduate engineering students. The strong outpouring of individual donor and corporate support totaled $46 million. This funding, combined with $50 million from the state, $8 million from the UW, and a $1.5 million federal grant, collectively financed the $105.5 million project.

The 75,000 square-foot facility, centered in the Engineering corridor across Stevens Way from the Husky Union Building (HUB), contains classrooms, project team rooms and social spaces, plus student advising, academic support, career services and the Office of Inclusive Excellence. Beyond its dedication to a collaborative, interdisciplinary student experience, the IEB is also a demonstration of sustainable design.

We are grateful for all those whose gifts and advocacy made the IEB a reality. We invite you to continue learning about the IEB through our social media channels: Instagram, LinkedIn and Youtube.
