The CEAC’s award-winning design will provide wide-open, state-of-the-art spaces for project-based learning and designing/building solutions to real problems, resulting in a modern learning environment that encourages collaboration across the artificial boundaries created by organizational structures and physical spaces. This will allow the Academy to achieve a modern, adaptable, and inspirational level of engineering education that simply cannot be achieved in the current 1960s-style academic buildings/classroom spaces.
