The University of California Riverside held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new Materials Science and Engineering Building on Thursday, January 10, 2008.
Designed by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, the new 154,000 gross square foot facility will accommodate joint interdisciplinary, instructional and research programs in nanotechnology, materials science, and bioengineering of the Bourns College of Engineering and the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences. The facility also features laboratory space, a cleanroom, classrooms and offices. Construction on the new Materials Science and Engineering Building is currently underway, and completion is expected in 2009.
Keynote speaker at the groundbreaking ceremony was Dr. Robert Haddon, 2008 winner of the American Physical Society's James C. McGroddy Prize for New Materials. Congressmen Jerry Lewis and Ken Calvert, the University's Acting Chancellor, Robert Grey, Director of Materials Science and Engineering Program, Alexander Balandin, and Jerome Schultz, Distinguished Professor and Chair of Bioengineering gave additional remarks. Reza Abbaschian, Dean of the Bourns College of Engineering, and Donald Cooksey, the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences interim dean led the ceremony. A reception was held immediately following the groundbreaking at Bourns Hall Courtyard.
