Engineering Facilities at the University of Indianapolis
The state-of-the-art R.B. Annis Hall on Shelby St. is the new home of the rapidly growing R.B. Annis School of Engineering. The 68,000-square-foot facility allows the school’s unique DesignSpine component to expand beyond its original footprint and meet growing demand.
R.B. Annis Hall translates to more opportunities for creative and innovative designs from the Annis School’s student teams, as well as greater opportunity to establish exceptional working relationships in larger maker spaces, shops, and labs. Faculty will have the opportunity to more effectively work with and mentor teams, as well as to collaborate with each other and with partners beyond campus.
Our facilities include:
- Ideation Space for students to interact with each other and with faculty as they brainstorm and problem-solve.
- Project Build Space where student project groups and competition teams can bring their ideas to life.
- Maker Space for experienced builders and tinkerers alike.
- Group Study Spaces to facilitate peer learning.
- Collaboration Spaces to establish exceptional working relationships with external stakeholders and clients.
