CEE Clubs Building and Site Plan at 1242 E Aggie Boulevard
Team: Grace Clark, Mark Floyd, Katie McDougal, Jeff Mickelson, Aspen Pearson, Gus Pollock
Sponsor: Idaho Power
Project Background
The department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at Utah State University supports multiple student organizations and clubs that provide students opportunities to apply the civil engineering skills they learn in class. These groups currently do not have dedicated shop or meeting spaces, which limits potential growth and development within student clubs.
