Major Science Building Project Tops Out at ASU
Facilities at ASU’s Polytechnic campus continue to be expanded. The latest new construction milestone is the Interdisciplinary Science and Technology Building 12, or ISTB 12. The more than 173,000-square foot complex will house an array of educational and research spaces and facilities, primarily for the School of Manufacturing Systems and Networks, part of the Fulton Schools. Tim Smith, ASU’s facilities development and management interim vice president, and Carlos Diaz, project director for McCarthy Building Companies, say ISTB12 will also showcase high-quality building materials and advanced construction techniques and propel the advancement of the sophisticated technologies to benefit students, faculty members and researchers.
