Engineering-Science Building and Nitschke Hall

ENGINEERING-SCIENCE BUILDING - Year of Construction: 1960; $2 million. Architects: Bellman, Gillett, and Richards. The Engineering-Science Building was built in the International Style of architecture and was the first academic building to shift away from Collegiate Gothic, representing the dedication of the building to teaching the newest technologies in the post-Sputnik era. In 1968, an addition to the building was completed by architects Richards, Bauer, & Moorehead for a Graduate Research facility for $1.5 million. When the College of Engineering moved to its current location on Westwood Avenue, the Engineering-Science Building became the home of the College of Health and Human Services. Renovations in 2004 added 17 classrooms, a community clinic, and other amenities for students focusing on the health or human services fields. NITSCHKE HALL - Year of Construction: 1994; $20.4 million. Architects: The Collaborative, Inc. Formerly called the East-Engineering Building, Nitschke Hall was named for Norman Nitschke of Glasstech, Inc., and his wife, Lois, who contributed $2 million for the project. One of the four buildings that make up the College of Engineering complex, the 117,000 square foot building has a five-story curtain wall built on a steel frame with attached story laboratories for chemical, civil, and industrial engineering. Nitschke Auditorium, which is connected to Nitschke Hall, can seat 1,000 people and was designed with the ability to host a variety of events.
