Faces of UTPB: Engineering Building

It was built in 2019 and cost $55 million, but the impact this facility has had on the community is priceless.
You can’t help but notice UTPB’s state-of-the-art engineering building as you drive along Hwy 191 that connects Midland and Odessa.
The three-story building covers 105,801 square feet of the energy epicenter of the world in the Permian Basin. It was built in 2019 and cost $55 million, but the impact this facility has had on the community is priceless.
The engineering building has housed around 850 students, faculty, and staff members since its opening. It includes classrooms, instructional labs, research labs, administrative offices, and student support services for students studying chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, and petroleum engineering.
The building has already seen countless classes, labs, meetings, conferences, and community events. The design showcases the historic significance of the Permian Basin through its unique geological formations—particularly its shale formations, or the appearance of its layered sheets. This can be seen in the interior and exterior of the building.
The building is open for prospective students and community members to tour by appointment. Visit our tour booking site to schedule a tour.
