As a mechanical engineering and design major, first-year undergraduate student Pia Stewart entered the new EXP building with excitement.
“I was watching the construction from afar,” Stewart says. “It’s a really nice space with lots of natural light and new places to sit and study.”
After three years of construction, the 357,000-square-foot facility on Northeastern University’s Boston campus was opened up to students, faculty and staff for the first time on Wednesday — just in time for the first day of classes.
