About the building
Vision
The IEB will be the primary academic home for first- and second-year students, a place for teaching and cross-disciplinary interactions and for partnering with industry. The building will coalesce the College into a stronger and more welcoming community, particularly for groups historically underrepresented in engineering, as well as physically reshape the engineering campus at the UW to drive connectivity.
Mission
- Help UW Engineering grow in terms of numbers and to be more inclusive, collaborative, innovative and adaptable, with programs supported by facilities rivaling those of our peer institutions.
- Serve as a home base, central to the on-campus student experience and offering the spaces needed for students to solve major societal challenges.
- Embody our commitment to engaging students in the full range of engineering disciplines while supporting project-based, interdisciplinary learning and diversity.
- Provide a silo-free learning environment to prepare students for industry and entrepreneurial careers.
