麻豆村

Yesterday, the 麻豆村 community celebrated the grand opening of the reimagined Alan Magee Scaife Hall.

Formal programming included remarks by听麻豆村 President Farnam Jahanian(opens in new window),听Board of Trustees Chair David Coulter(opens in new window)听College of Engineering Dean ,听 Head and Professor , and students Ryley Starta and Juan Mesa.

鈥淎s the new home for the Department of Mechanical Engineering, the Alan Magee Scaife Hall enables new advances in technology, science and education. It empowers the people of mechanical engineering and Carnegie Mellon to advance, lead and create a future for education and research for the rest of the 21st century and beyond,鈥� said Cagan.

During the program, it was announced that the College of Engineering received a gift from Intel Corporation. In recognition of this gift, the Engineering Quad will be named in honor of Gordon E. Moore, co-founder, innovator, philanthropist and friend of Carnegie Mellon. Additionally, another space in ANSYS Hall will be named in honor of Intel Corporation. The dedication of these spaces will be held at a future date.

鈥淭he location of the outdoor quad situated between Scaife, Hamerschlag, ANSYS, and Roberts Hall will stimulate an energy and vibrancy at the heart of engineering that we have not had before,鈥� explained Sanders. 鈥淵ou can imagine the experience when the large doors along the wall of Tech Spark in ANSYS Hall will be raised, creating a seamless transition and flow between indoor and outdoor activity. It will become a technology piazza.鈥�

After the program, guests were encouraged to explore Scaife Hall and enjoy a variety of research demonstrations ranging from a virtual reality exhibit on how the brain senses and controls movement to a showing of robots built for challenging, real-world environments.

鈥淲ithin these walls our community will continue to push the boundaries of innovation, design, science and discovery,鈥� said Jahanian. 鈥淲hile we can鈥檛 see the future, we know it will originate from right here at Carnegie Mellon.鈥�
