ase new building grand opening

This spring, the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics in the Cockrell School of Engineering opened its doors to a newly renovated, more spacious home on the Forty Acres. Officially renamed the Aerospace Engineering Building (ASE), the new 86,000-gross-square-foot home – located at 2617 Wichita St. – will foster more collaborative, hands-on educational and research experiences for students who work closely with faculty to solve important global and societal engineering problems.

Members of the ASE/EM community are invited to join us for a grand opening celebration in our new home.
