Business, Technology and Engineering Building
ABOUT THE BUILD
The Business, Technology & Engineering Building is a bold step forward in Simpson University’s commitment to academic excellence, innovation, and service. Designed as a hub for students pursuing degrees in high-demand STEM fields like engineering, computer information systems, and digital media, this facility reflects a future-focused vision grounded in the university’s Christ-centered mission. With state-of-the-art classrooms, labs, collaborative spaces, and a 250-seat auditorium, the building is purposefully designed to prepare students for meaningful careers in today’s rapidly evolving industries.
As the future home of the Maurice & Marianne Johannessen Veterans Success Center, it will offer dedicated resources and support for veteran and military-affiliated students. It also symbolizes Simpson’s deep roots in the North State and its ongoing investment in the economic, technological, and spiritual well-being of the region. Through its walls, students will be challenged to lead with integrity, innovate with purpose, and pursue excellence in ways that impact both their professions and their communities.
