THE BUILDING CAMPAIGN FOR ECE ILLINOIS
Groundbreaking Ceremony
The next step in the future of ECE ILLINOIS was taken October 7, 2011, as ground was broken on the site of the new building. Illinois Governor Pat Quinn joined University of Illinois President Michael Hogan, Vice President of the University and Urbana-campus Chancellor Phyllis Wise, College of Engineering Dean Ilesanmi Adesida, and ECE Department Head Andreas Cangellaris to launch the construction of the building.
