University of Minnesota Amundson Hall Gore Annex

Minneapolis, MN

"The Amundson Hall, Chemical Engineering & Material Science (CEMS) Building Expansion & Infrastructure Upgrade consists of two project objectives which are defined by the proposed building expansion and an existing infrastructure upgrade. The building expansion is immediately north of the existing Amundson Hall, which is located along Washington Avenue on the University of Minnesota East Bank Campus, and south of the existing Keller Hall. The new addition, 4 stories above grade and 2 stories below grade, will house laboratories, office and collaborative work spaces for faculty, staff, graduate students and post-doctoral fellows along with new and upgraded laboratory space for the undergraduate teaching mission of the CEMS Department. The building expansion will add approximately 42,314 gross square feet (GSF) of new space research, office / administrative and collaboration spaces for the Material Science and Engineering (MSE) and Chemical Engineering (ChE) programs. The Infrastructure Upgrade project is a list of preferred replacements, upgrades and renovations of existing architectural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems that reflect a best cost value in immediate service based on the current Central Corridor Light Rail Transit work, which is located along the adjacent Washington Avenue, and the proposed building expansion."

The precision-built Gore Annex UEM lab brings world-class technology to the U of MN

Four-stories above grade, two-stories below grade, the world-class laboratories and classrooms addition to Amundson Hall was built with precision in mind. The award-winning project successfully addressed extremely challenging site logistics, precision quality requirements and safety demands to provide infrastructure upgrades and expansion of the existing Amundson Hall for labs serving the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science (CEMS).

The new lab space in the Gore Annex is going to give us extremely sensitive environmental control. That, combined with this new ultrafast electron microscope, is going to allow us to do experiments that literally have never been done before.
