Breaking Ground

In May, BYU broke ground on the new engineering building, which was funded entirely by donations from more than 18,000 alumni and friends. The building will be five stories tall and approximately 200,000 square feet. It is scheduled to be completed by Fall 2018. Check out the live construction as it progresses.

A team of students used their capstone project to make a difference in a young man’s life.

Open-source plans for the project are now available.
