DuPont Hall Under Construction Construction of a new wing of DuPont Hall began during the summer of 2000. Nearly 60,000 square feet of space will be added to the building, which is the long-time home of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The more than $20-million project will result in a new facade that will be in line with other buildings facing the university's central mall, completing the original designer's historic plan for the mall. Most CEE faculty offices, classrooms, and labs will remain in their present locations in the existing wing of DuPont Hall. CEE facilities in the new wing will include the department's administrative offices, a multipurpose meeting room, a student study/project room, and a bridge design laboratory. In addition, the new wing will house the College of Engineering Dean's Office and facilities for the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. Construction is expected to continue through May 2002. During this period, the CEE Department's main office, as well as the Dean's Office, will be located on the second floor of the Facilities Management building on Academy Street.
