The first component to be implemented out of PAYETTE’s College of Engineering Master Plan, the Engineering Design and Innovation Building will provide flexible classrooms, multi-use design studios, “cornerstone to capstone” makerspaces, high bay research labs, faculty offices and research cores to benefit multiple engineering disciplines. This will create a singular programmatic magnet for research, making, testing and prototyping from a broad range of disciplines to become the innovation and making hub of the College of Engineering.

FRONT DOOR OF PSU WEST CAMPUS
The College of Engineering Master Plan establishes a vibrant West Campus precinct, transforming it into a campus district equal in quality to the best spaces on the adjacent University Park Campus. The Master Plan creates a singular vision for this precinct with the EDIB as the first of four new buildings. Collectively, these buildings, and the signature landscape environments they define, will accommodate a range of synergistic programs creating the opportunity to re-align research space into strategic thematic groupings and focus on the shared use of space to increase utilization at a scale that will change the culture of the College of Engineering for decades to come.
