The Engineering Community Hub, located in Academic Village (AV) – Engineering Hall, offers engineering students an academically supportive and fun environment. The Hub consists of 4 design studios, 2 collaborative work rooms, and 2 flexible learning classrooms.
Students can attend nightly tutoring, events & activities, organized by the live-in “Staff-in-Residence,” and live-in EC Staff, centered around building engineering skills and community outside the classroom.
