Donor recognition that demands your attention,

paying homage to those who made it possible

The recently opened Engineering Hall at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas, is a first-class facility that impacts the daily experience of more than 3,500 students and 300 faculty and staff. It provides an engaging first impression and a dynamic introduction to the engineering program for new and prospective students. It also houses their brand new Engineering Complex, as well as their Computing & Information Sciences and Electrical & Computer Engineering departments.

3,500

students and 300 faculty and staff call the Engineering Hall home each semester.

2 Million

dollars of scholarships are offered through this program each year with the support of donors, alumni, and outside funding.

 

Dimensional Innovations was responsible for creating and installing the interactive features in the main entrance. The touch screen matrix complements the sleek design and allows users to dive into the eight different departments of KSU Engineering. Campus maps, information about engineering clubs, and department news is also easy for users to find. Additionally, there is a feature that highlights and honors all the donors who have contributed to the KSU Engineering department.
