The School is located in the Ford Environmental Science and Technology (ES&T) Building, which was constructed in 2003. The $58 million facility boasts 287,000 square feet, making it the largest academic structure on any campus in the University System of Georgia.
The Ford ES&T Building anchors the Institute’s multidisciplinary Biotechnology Campus. The School of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering shares the building with other environmentally-related academic units. Having multiple departments and schools operating in one location encourages interdisciplinary collaboration and research among students and faculty. Additionally, ChBE faculty members also operate laboratories in other academic buildings and in several research centers on campus.
