After several months of labor, the WTAMU is holding a ribbon cutting ceremony for the newly-renovated Engineering and Computer Science building, which is located east of the Agriculture and Natural Sciences building. While the building is not yet finished, it is already being used for a combustion class.

Charles Minich, superintendent for Western Builders, has been working on the project since March 13.

“[The building has] a big lecture hall, three classrooms, a couple of labs, a computer lab, and offices,” said Minich. “Of course, in the future, they’ve got the whole second floor to build.”

When people are talking about durable materials, they are usually referring to those materials that are designed for a lifetime. You will find that many of these materials are not only long lasting, but also resistant to various outside elements, such as weathering. It is important to remember that when you are choosing materials for any project that you need to choose materials that are durable and long lasting, because this can help to ensure that your project is completed and operating at its optimal level for years to come. When looking for durable materials, it is important to look at a few different things. First of all it is always a good idea to start with reading reviews on the product, check out Superdurable where real people leave real reviews. Find out what types of materials that you should be looking for, how they are constructed, and what the benefits and drawbacks are of each material.

While the building still has some work that needs to be done, Engineering students are excited about having a new building.

“I’m so excited about the new building,” Grant Spruell, a junior Mechanical Engineering major, said. “It’s going to be really cool.”

”I think it’s great for advertising if you drive by it,” Erin Cortez, a junior Mechanical Engineering major, said. “The building should hold more students.”

Minich also pointed out the work done to restore the exterior of the building.

“It’s pretty much like an all new building,” he said.

The ribbon cutting ceremony will take place at the Engineering and Computer Science building on Jan. 31 at 11:30 a.m. Those wishing to attend should RSVP by calling 806-651-1990.
