DALLAS - Engineering students entering their classrooms this fall at Southern Methodist University are learning the latest engineering concepts not only from their professors, but from the classrooms themselves - the walls, the windows, the floors, the cabinetry - as well as from the hallway outside, the bathroom down the hall, even the building’s main lobby.
The university’s new $16 million engineering building is on track to be the first college building in Texas to be certified as environmentally friendly by the leading arbiter of such things, the U.S. Green Building Council. The structure will save the university an estimated $70,000 in energy costs annually, but the bigger impact will be its use as a learning tool for the next generation of North Texas civil and mechanical engineers.
The SMU Daily Campus also covered the story.
