If you haven't come onto campus from the Iowa/15th Street side lately, there's some impressive construction going on at the Engineering School. Two new buildings being added on to accomodate the demand for space. KU has the #1 Engineering School in the state and has seen a HUGE increase in engineering enrollments (35%). Can't find the details on the first building, but it was around 40 million, and the new building to be completed in 2015 is at 85 million, adding 135,000 square feet of classroom, laboratory and office space.
