Science and Engineering Complex
GW strives to be a top research university
With strengths in areas as broad-based as biomedical engineering, transportation safety and security, and wind and solar energy, GW researchers are on the brink of extraordinary breakthroughs that could transform everyday life in the 21st century.
One bold step GW is taking is the development of a new Science and Engineering Complex. It will be an intellectual hub and will position GW to attract the best faculty and brightest students. Exciting research opportunities in progress and on the horizon include: renewable and sustainable energy, biomedical imaging and diagnostics, safety of hybrid and electric vehicles, nanotechnology and engineered materials.
