The new Science and Engineering Building (SEB) opened to the UTSA community on Aug. 22. The $95 million project has been under construction since 2018 and is a part of the university’s plans to center itself as a research institution.
The SEB is located across from the Biotechnology Sciences and Engineering Building and will house students from a number of STEM departments, including chemistry, biology, chemical engineering and computer engineering. The university has touted the facility’s state-of-the-art 17,000 square foot Makerspace, which includes a design studio, machine shop, 3D printing room, and project assembly and meeting space. Students and faculty members working in the Makerspace will also be able to connect with the Center for Innovation and Technology Entrepreneurship to take products, research outcomes, and services to the marketplace.
