This morning the university held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to dedicate the new John D. Tickle Engineering Building. Tickle and his wife, Ann, joined Chancellor Jimmy G. Cheek, President John DiPietro, and other officials to celebrate the state-of-the-art building.
The five-story, 110,000-square-foot facility opened this semester and houses the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department and Industrial and Systems Engineering Department.
