Self-Guided Tour
Welcome to The Grainger College of Engineering! For more than 125 years, the brightest engineering minds have researched, innovated and persevered in the buildings on this tour. Explore where ideas are born, and history is made. Grainger Engineering students, alumni, faculty and researchers solve the world’s most pressing problems and build a better world for all — not for the glory, but for the good.
While this tour is designed to begin at Engineering Hall, the oldest standing structure on the Grainger Engineering campus, and end at the Material Science and Engineering building, the route is a loop that you may start and end at any point.
