The Roland A. Crabtree Technology Building (CTB)

Home to nearly all the facilities associated with the manufacturing program at BYU.

These facilities range from office space (for faculty, staff, and graduate students) to CAEDM computer labs, from the MLF (an internship placement office) to an induction furnace equipped foundry. The Ira and Mary Lou Fulton Supercomputing Center is housed upstairs, and the Precision Machining Center is on the first floor. These last two are examples of Crabtree Building resources shared by the entire College of Engineering and Technology.

History

The Crabtree Technology building was dedicated on October 19, 1985. It is named after Roland and Dora Mae Poulter Crabtree, who are known and respected for their service and dedication to education. In keeping with the technology theme, a specially modified robot was used to cut the ribbon.

The building has five floor levels and a total of 55,600 assignable square feet. The main-floor commons areas has enough room for about 80 students to study, there are a total of 23 laboratory rooms, 30 offices, three large classrooms, and a multi-media auditorium (the auditorium serves as a chapel on Sundays).

The FFKR architectural firm (Fowler, Ferguson, Kingston, and Ruben) designed the structure, and the Layton Construction Company served as general contractor for the project.
