The School of Mechanical Engineering is divided up into two buildings. The main building occupies the administration, offices, classrooms and the second building occupies the laboratories of the research center. The Buildings were designed in exposed concrete in accordance with the old concrete campus of the 50’s. The semi-urban building fabric was articulated with a variety of interior and exterior public spaces as pleasant shady microclimate environments in the desert.
