The Engineering Initiative

To attract new engineering students and secure the School of Engineering’s reputation as a world-class institution, Saint Martin’s has launched an Engineering Initiative. By raising $7 million, Saint Martin's will complete a new "green" building to house the School of Engineering and fund an endowment to support the program. The new facility will offer new classrooms, and lab spaces will allow for an expanded engineering program while completing the first academic quad on Saint Martin’s campus.

This Initiative is a new cornerstone to a growing campus — a transformational first step for the School of Engineering, the campus and the community as a whole.

What it means for:

The School of Engineering

Saint Martin’s School of Engineering has earned its reputation as a top-tier engineering program. A new building will allow the program to attract more students and more faculty, and will build capacity for new technologies in new lab spaces. A new building will also allow Saint Martin’s to meet ABET accreditation requirements far into the future.

Saint Martin's University

The completion of the first academic quadrangle will create a place for students to gather, whether as an outdoor classroom, a performing arts venue, or even just as a beautiful setting to catch up on a good book on a spring afternoon.

The South Sound community

An expanded engineering program means Saint Martin's can meet the high demand for qualified engineers in both the public and private sector. Students, through their class work and internships, can test new ideas in partnership with local firms and governments. When they graduate, they will bring with them not only an excellent engineering education, but one grounded in Benedictine values.
