However, it isgrowing rapidly, especially in the sciences. In the last five years, our university opened twomulti-disciplinary science and engineering buildings. The newest building, the AppliedEngineering and Technology Building, opened for occupancy in Fall 2009 and officially inSpring 2010; our library opened few months later, in May. In the original plans for the building, a laboratory space was built where our library isnow. The architects and builders outfitted the room with various lab specifications, including aneye-wash station, a multitude of power
