Computer & Automotive Engineering Building Underway at Weber State University

  • 07/23/19

OGDEN, UT – The new Computer & Automotive Engineering Building on the campus of Weber State University is underway. The 50,000-square-foot building will help the College of Engineering, Applied Science & Technology (EAST) accommodate growth.

Weber State University Engineering Building

For the past five years, Weber State has led state institutions in awarding engineering and computer science degrees. In addition to providing a location for computer science and software engineering courses, the building will be the new home of the automotive technology program.

GSBS Architects designed the building and R&O Construction has been awarded the contract. Construction is expected to be complete in summer 2020.

  • Designing for Every Mind

    Learning environments have the power to shape not just what students know, but who they become. When a school is designed with genuine empathy—for the full range of ways students think, sense, and engage with the world—it becomes more than a building. It becomes a catalyst for growth, confidence, and belonging. That is the animating idea behind neurodiverse design, and it is one that is transforming how more architects and designers are thinking about school design.

    School cafeterias and university dining halls serve thousands of meals daily, relying on high-heat equipment like fryers, grills, and ovens. While these operations keep students fed, they also generate significant grease-laden vapors. Without proper controls, this grease becomes a silent fire threat. As a certified exhaust cleaning specialist and business coach who has helped hundreds of institutional facilities achieve NFPA 96 compliance, I emphasize that proactive grease management isn’t optional; it’s a core fire/life safety practice.
