WILLIAM N. PENNINGTON ENGINEERING BUILDING AT UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, RENO
The William N. Pennington Engineering Building project, built for the University of Nevada, Reno, included the new construction of a four-story, 100,114-square-foot higher education building. The facility houses 40 research laboratories, a 200-seat classroom, three instructional laboratories, 50 offices, 150 graduate student workstations, and a state-of-the-art computer laboratory. This new facility was constructed on a concrete foundation with spread footings, a conventional structural steel frame, an exterior comprised of brick veneer, metal panels, and glass, and a PVC membrane roof. The project also featured the demolition of existing buildings on the campus to allow for campus expansion. The William N. Pennington Engineering Building was awarded the 2020 Associated General Contractors PINNACLE (Projects in Northern Nevada Achieving Construction Leadership Excellence) Award.
