McMichael Science Center
Elon's Engineering students have the advantage of
first-rate computer and electronics labs in the $17.2
million Dalton L. McMichael Sr. Science Center, which
opened in the fall of 1998 to house Elon's expanding
science program and support a significant undergraduate
research program.
The 81,000-square-foot facility, which houses the
biology, physics and chemistry departments as well as the
Engineering program, features teaching labs, student
research labs, computers loaded with the most current
software, faculty offices, reading and conference rooms,
and high-tech instrument packages.
These spacious classrooms and laboratories allow
students to interact with faculty and other students and
work on projects in the same area. In addition, data
projectors allow faculty to use technology to enhance
their presentations.
Hampl Engineering Workshop
A new addition to the Elon Engineering facilities is the
Hampl Engineering Workshop, which allows Engineering
students to gain practical experience by applying
principles taught in the classroom. Students are able to
build prototypes of vehicles and structures and test
basic engineering theories. The workshop contains basic
tools for metal and wood works, such as hand drills,
hacksaws and soldering equipment.
 The
workshop, which is located adjacent to the Dalton L.
McMichael Sr. Science Center, was made possible by a lead
gift by Elon parents Bernhard and Carmen Hampl of New
Canaan, Conn., and gifts from other
parents.
To support the Engineering program at Elon and the
activities of the workshop, please contact Anne Wright in
