Rhodes Engineering Research Center

Building Description

Rhodes is a College of Engineering and Science research facility. Bioengineering occupies 51 percent of the space, the Center for Advanced Engineering Fibers and Films occupies 19 percent, Ceramic and Materials engineering 15 percent, and Electrical and Computer Engineering 7 percent. The remaining 8 percent is allocated to Computer Network Services, Materials Science and Engineering, Engineering Graphics, Computer Network Services, and the Bioengineering Alliance of South Carolina. Rhodes is appropriate for labs, but not ideal for offices and classrooms due to lack of windows and wide bay size.

History
