The William N. Pennington Engineering Building
Our new 100,000-square-foot engineering building will facilitate innovation in all five College of Engineering departments.
What is an ISO-5 (Class 100) Cleanroom?
One of the key features of the building, the ISO-5 (Class 100) Cleanroom reduces air contaminants from up to 1,00,000 parts per cubic foot down to 100 and allows for research in biosensing and nanotechnology that is not otherwise possible in the state of Nevada. It facilitates research in materials science and engineering, chemical, biomedical, and mechanical engineering.
