Despite challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, construction on the 160,000-square-foot Center for Engineering and Computer Science is scheduled to be completed this fall. Throughout the past year, the rise of the new building—along with the construction of the Arthur L. Irving Institute for Energy and Society at the end of Tuck Drive—has transformed the silhouette of Dartmouth’s West End. Highlights include an expansive, light-filled building with dedicated maker-spaces, a design loft, and additional labs for hands-on projects. An integral part of Dartmouth’s technology and innovation hub, the new center will expand learning and research opportunities for engineering and computer science majors, help bring new ideas to market, and prepare leaders who can better the world.
