Welcome to the Richard L. Bready Applied Learning Laboratories, a hub of labs, project rooms and open spaces dedicated to hands-on, collaborative teaching and learning. With our focus on experiential learning and cutting-edge industry trends, the School of Engineering, Computing and Construction Management (SECCM) develops students equipped with the skills and real-world experiences to meet the challenges facing the engineering and design build industries. SECCM faculty have a state-of-the-art facility to deliver the highest quality educational experience to our students 鈥&苍产蝉辫;the next generation of engineering, computing and construction management professionals. Boasting 100 percent placement into jobs or graduate school, SECCM's enrollment continues to grow, and the Richard L. Bready Applied Learning Laboratories will accommodate future growth by providing a collaborative hub for applied learning.
Located in the heart of campus, the three-story building gives students the opportunity to test designs and apply new skills in a laboratory environment.
