Welcome Back Guggenheim
Guggenheim Hall is nearing completion. Renovations include creating multi-focused instructional labs, upgrading classroom technologies, adding disability/mobility access including an elevator as well as building reinforcements. Guggenheim Hall was built in 1929 for air and space research, and our department has thrived. Below are images during construction.
"Our department has trained a host of outstanding aerospace leaders," says A&A chair Adam Bruckner. "Our great incubator, Guggenheim Hall, will produce even more legendary engineers when we bring the educational and research spaces into the 21st Century."
