To provide enhanced resources to undergraduate and graduate students, Carnegie Mellon University constructed the brand new ANSYS Hall fostering innovation across all scales. At 36,000GSF, ANSYS Hall serves as a hub for the Carnegie Institute of Technology, and features a simulation center, an undergraduate maker space, and offers a wide range of cutting-edge facilities.

The expansive high-bay maker space and courtyard gives students access to larger work areas, accommodating large-scale engineering projects that require garage-sized bays. ANSYS Hall also includes collaborative spaces throughout common areas, allowing for heightened interaction among ANSYS personnel and CMU faculty, students and staff.

The multi-physics engineering simulation software integrates seamlessly into the building, giving teams the ability to effectively work in tandem on complex projects. ANSYS personnel also have a dedicated office suite for researchers on campus.

In partnership with ANSYS, the new facility gives its users the space and materials to explore and bring their ideas to life. Carnegie Mellon University’s commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration and giving access to cutting-edge technology ensures that students from various disciplines can collaborate, innovate, and make advancements in engineering.
