Facilities
The 248,000-square-foot Engineering Building III houses the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and the Joint NC State-UNC Department of Biomedical Engineering. Opened in September 2010, EBIII contains approximately 80 laboratories, classrooms and offices for faculty and graduate students.
The High Bay Annex, situated behind EBIII, houses a flight test cell, an anechoic chamber, and two wind tunnels.
The facility also has the first “green” roof on Centennial Campus, featuring drought-resistant plants and is projected to save an estimated 25-50 percent on heating and cooling costs as part of a university-wide effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
