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 a Class 100 Cleanroom?
One of the key features of the building, the Class 100 Cleanroom reduces air contaminants from 500,000 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.
TAKE A VIRTUAL TOUR
The 100,000-square-foot William N. Pennington Engineering Building will include more than 40 laboratories, a Class 100 cleanroom, a large computer lab, a 200-student classroom, and 150 graduate work stations.
