BlackboardGroundbreaking Ceremony Planned for New Aero-Propulsion, Mechatronics and Energy Building at FSU
Florida State University President Eric Barron is scheduled to lead a groundbreaking ceremony next week to mark the start of construction of a 60,000-square-foot facility that will support advanced research in aero-propulsion, mechatronics (robotics) and sustainable energy engineering. The ceremony will begin:
Tuesday, April 27
9:45 A.M.
High-Performance Materials Institute
2005 Levy Ave., FSU Southwest Campus
Tallahassee, Fla.
When completed, the Aero-Propulsion, Mechatronics and Energy Building will house laboratories, equipment, offices and other infrastructure necessary to carry out the university's research mission in three key areas. Among the organizations that will be housed in the $23 million facility are Florida State's Energy and Sustainability Center, as well as some faculty and staff from the Institute for Energy Systems, Economics and Sustainability; its Center for Intelligent Systems, Control, and Robotics; and the Florida Center for Advanced Aero-Propulsion, a multi-university research consortium headquartered at FSU.
