JSU School of Engineering
Jackson State University
The site of the School of Engineering establishes it as the new gateway to the western campus of Jackson State University. This highly imaginative 83,500-square foot facility provides classrooms, computer/electronic systems labs, engineering labs, office suites for the dean and departmental heads, plus support areas. Flexible and efficient, this project meets or exceeds the requirements for LEED™ certification. The exterior orientation and plan organization is designed to maximize passive day-lighting techniques in all classrooms and labs. Generous roof overhangs protect windows from direct sun exposure, while light shelves reflect glare-free natural light deep within the building. Interior materials were selected based on recycled content, low VOC’s, and low maintenance finishes to provide a healthy work environment for students and faculty.
