Talbot Laboratory Educational Laboratory Upgrade and Expansion

The complete educational laboratory upgrade and expansion to Talbot Laboratory encompasses an instructional composite manufacturing laboratory and an instructional nano-satellite design, assembling, testing, and operation laboratory for the Department of Aerospace Engineering. The work also includes an instructional radiation measurements laboratory, and a nuclear materials laboratory for the Department of Nuclear, Plasma, and Radiological Engineering. These state-of-the-art laboratories substantially improves the on-campus experience of undergraduate and graduate students throughout the college, fortifying The Grainger College of Engineering as a leader in hands-on engineering education. An approximate 9,150 GSF, four-story infill addition at the southeast area of Talbot Laboratory provides the additional square footage needed for the instructional laboratories in the departments mentioned above. A second accessible entrance was added to the facility as part of the work. See more at https://aerospace.illinois.edu/about-us/talbot-expansion. Part of the project also includes public art, showcased in F&S INSIDER magazine here: https://fs.web.illinois.edu/Insider/2022/03/04/capital-programs-carpenters-plans-installs-art/.
