Funded by the state of Utah and a naming gift from the Ray & Tye Noorda Foundation, the state-of-the-art Noorda Engineering, Applied Science & Technology Building opened in October 2022.

WSU preserved a portion of the Technical Education Building that previously occupied the space and updated it to match the new building’s design. Together, the spaces cover 155,000 square feet.

The new building, a stunning addition to the campus, features large waveform designs on the exterior and a dynamic sculpture inside with 119 moving origami elements hung from a floating frame, representing the forces of nature and reminding students that the sky is the limit.
