The new CEAC is a modern academic facility that will house the engineering laboratory functions of the Departments of Civil & Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering & Computer Science, and Systems Engineering together under one roof.

This will support multidisciplinary project-based engineering education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) for US Military Academy (USMA) cadets.

The facility was designed by a joint venture (JV) between a technical services firm Jacobs and EwingCole with a focus on innovation and collaboration while integrating the USMA’s traditions and history.

It will also include laboratories along with support space, project fabrication spaces, high bay areas with an overhead lift, workspaces, conference rooms, spray booths, and an assortment of other advanced capabilities for our engineering disciplines.
