Jonsson Engineering Center, Engineering education complex in Troy, United States
The Jonsson Engineering Center contains seven floors of laboratories, research facilities, and classrooms dedicated to different engineering disciplines.
Construction of the center began in April 1975, following a $2.6 million donation from J. Erik Jonsson, and reached completion in fall 1977.
The engineering center functions as an educational hub where students work on technical projects while maintaining connections with industry professionals.
Located between the Greene Building and Communication Center, the facility provides access to specialized equipment including a subsonic wind tunnel.
The groundbreaking ceremony featured an underground explosion triggered by a long-distance telephone call from Margaret Jonsson in Dallas, Texas.
