Cesar Pelli and Associates to design new Engineering building

The new Engineering building will be designed by Cesar Pelli and Associates,
designers of, among others, the Petronas Towers of Kuala Lumpur
(the world's tallest buildings), the National Museum of Contemporary
Art in Osaka, Japan, and the World Financial Center in New York City.
Cesar Pelli was dean of the Yale School of Architecture from 1977 to 1984
and continues to lecture at Yale.

The new Engineering building is part of the current $500 million
Yale University initiative to upgrade of its science and engineering
facilities. John Malone '63, an engineering alumnus, contributed
$24 million toward a new engineering building.

The 50,000 sq. ft. Engineering building is expected to be
finished within two to three years and will house biomedical, chemical,
and mechanical engineering programs.
