Facilities
The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department is the largest department in the College of Engineering and as such occupies portions of many buildings across campus. In addition to the major facilities listed below, members of ECE can be found in Page Hall and Burlington Labs on Main Campus, as well as Research I on Centenntial Campus.
Engineering Building II
Centennial Campus
Built in 2005
Engineering Building II was dedicated in April 2006. As the flagship building on Centennial Campus for the College of Engineering, it houses the departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering and of Computer Science.
Ground was broken on the building in October 2004. The building was completed in the summer of 2005 with classes being taught there beginning in the Fall semester that year.
Built with funds from a November 2000 bond referendum, Engineering Building II is the most advanced teaching and research complex at the university.
Monteith Engineering Research Center
Centennial Campus
Built in 1996
Completed in 1996, the 138,000-square-foot Monteith Engineering Research Center houses some of the most sophisticated research facilities on Centennial Campus. A complex of two buildings, Monteith features a wide range of state-of-the-art technology, from special "clean-rooms" for creating and analyzing nanoscale microelectronic devices to the adjoining Constructed Facilities Laboratory, which contains some of the largest testing equipment in the nation.
Originally named the Engineering Graduate Research Center, the building, designed by architects at O'Dell Associates, was renamed in 2005 to honor former Chancellor Larry K. Monteith.

Partners I
Centennial Campus
Built in 1997
Built to facilitate corporate and academic partnerships, the Partners I building situated on Centennial Campus houses two of the departments largest research centers.
The Semiconductor Power Electronics Center can be found in Suite 1250 of the building where they conduct research in power management, electronics and semiconductor devices. The Center for Embedded Systems Research in Suite 2300 seeks to advance the science of embedded electronics systems in many of our everyday items.
