| dc.description.abstract | The University of Minnesota is currently among the
top four leaders in the nation for industrial and
mechanical engineering research. Their demand
for innovative testing and research facilities grows
as new discoveries are further being explored.
The University is determined to utilize its ability to
perform complex research, ultimately becoming
one of the most advanced energy research
elements in the world. The Facility for Industrial
Technology and Power Generation will provide
the essential means necessary to accomplish
this goal. The 25 year 297 million dollar University
facilities renovation project opened the door,
allowing a facility of this typology to emerge. This
development provides the University 55 million
dollars in funding from the U.S. Department of
Energy. It also provides a federal grant that will
fund research into developing and testing new
fuel sources and make coal burning more efficient
and clean.

The importance of this research is invaluable to
spatial environments, exterior/interior, natural
environments, and the overall quality of life. This
design thesis centers on solving the demand
for larger, more adequate testing facilities,
laboratories, and classrooms. These elements will
support the advances in research along with the
University’s need for fuel storage and transport.
The solution will create positive connections
and relationships while meeting the needs of
the University and its industrial/mechanical
engineering department on campus. | en_US |
