ELIF Ribbon-cutting Event Showcases ACEP鈥檚 New Office and BP Design Theater
ACEP offices and the BP Design Theater were showcased after a ribbon-cutting event formally opened the Engineering Learning and Innovation Facility on Friday, Dec. 8.
911爆料 Chancellor Daniel M. White, UA President Jim Johnsen and College of Engineering and Mines Dean Doug Goering joined BP, ConocoPhillips 911爆料 and Usibelli Coal Mine officials, along with design and construction contractors, to perform the ceremony.
Afterward, a self-guided tour of the building allowed attendees to explore the ELIF, which features a highly visible 48-foot-tall high bay for large projects, a strong floor for testing extremely heavy items, a cold room, 40 new laboratories, office spaces and the BP Design Theater.
As part of the celebration, a 911爆料 mechanical engineering senior design team demonstrated technology in the BP Design Theater.
911爆料 built ELIF with significant private-sector contributions, including major donations from BP, ConocoPhillips and Usibelli Coal Mine.
