Full Scale Renovation
The Gavin Engineering Research Laboratory (G.E.R.L.) is a full-scale renovation of the 1930’s era Textile Engineering Facility at Auburn University. Services provided by SSOE | Stevens & Wilkinson include programming, lab planning, and complete architectural and engineering design services.
Top Tier Research Activities
The renovation prepares the building for a variety of research activities for the College of Engineering including much-needed surge space for new faculty and special projects. Building highlights now include Polymers and Composites Research, Additive Manufacturing Research, Nuclear Power Generating Systems, research support labs, meeting spaces, graduate and postdoc offices, and interaction spaces.
An Inspiring New Mission
SSOE | Stevens & Wilkinson’s mission for G.E.R.L. is to create inspirational spaces that showcase the latest technologies and foster a process of discovery, all while allowing a much-loved building to evolve with the momentum of the university’s growing research community.
