Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee, plans to break ground later this year on a $15 million facility for its School of Engineering.
University President Paul Conn says the 30,000-square-foot facility will be a two-story brick structure focused on engineering and computer science with classrooms, specialized labs, office space for faculty, and work areas for students.
It will be the first major new building constructed at Lee since 2018. The facility is expected to be ready for occupancy by August 2026.
The $15 million project cost will be covered through a fund-raising campaign.
The architect is Rardin & Carroll Architects and the general contractor is Tri-Con.
The Lee Board of Directors authorized the beginning of a full engineering major at Lee in 2022 and at that time, a new building to house the program was identified as a goal.
