WILLENS WING WELCOME<br />
This fall students returned to Tech to find workers putting the finishing touches<br />
on the new Willens <strong>Engineering</strong> Life Sciences Wing, a six-story, 50,000-squarefoot<br />
addition for students <strong>and</strong> faculty in the life <strong>and</strong> biomedical sciences.<br />
Located on the northern side <strong>of</strong> the building, the LEED Silver-certified Willens<br />
Wing features an airy two-story atrium with common areas for group work<br />
<strong>and</strong> informal meetings. Demonstrating the need for the facility, students have<br />
quickly filled the common spaces. The facility, made possible by a generous<br />
gift from Ronald <strong>and</strong> JoAnne Willens, provides a permanent home for the<br />
Integrated Molecular Structure Education <strong>and</strong> Research Center <strong>and</strong> new<br />
<strong>of</strong>fices <strong>and</strong> labs for eight <strong>McCormick</strong> faculty members from the biomedical <strong>and</strong><br />
mechanical engineering departments. The building will be formally dedicated<br />
December 9.
