In addition to serving a lab and learning facility, the goal is that the building's commons area will be inviting and facili­ tate discussion. "We want to make it a building people want to be in and will stimulate interactions. We hope the facility will encour­ age communication, community and collaboration," said Incropera. The learning center will occupy the rest of the space on the first floor, and at 16,000 sq. ft. will be almost four times larg­ er than the current learning center that opened this year in Cushing Hall to support the new Introduction to Engineering program for first year students. "The learning center will continue to service the needs of first year students and with the new building, we would not be surprised if the number of first year students increases from 300 to 400," said Incropera.
