Grainger College of Engineering
The Grainger College of Engineering is the engineering school of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. It was established in 1868 and is considered as one of the original units of school.
The College of Engineering is located at the northern terminus of the University of Illinois occupying the Bardeen Quadrangle, the Beckman Quadrangle, and many nearby areas. Green Street almost perfectly divides the Engineering Campus from the rest of the University. So, engineers and the College of Engineering are often referred to as "North of Green."[citation needed]
The Engineering Hall serves as the primary anchor point for the College of Engineering and houses administrative offices as well as academic facilities. Built in 1894, it is the oldest surviving building on the Engineering portion of campus. It was designed by George Bullard, a University alumnus as part of the University held architecture competition and is an example of the Renaissance Revival style of architecture.[citation needed]
The Bardeen Quad is home to the Grainger Engineering Library, the largest engineering library in the world with over 260,000 physical volumes and a substantial electronic repository. The building costs nearly $30 million and has 135,000 square feet (13,000 m²) of floor space. It serves more than 1.5 million people annually. It offers services, including room reservations, computers, printing, scanning, copying, tutoring, and technology loans.
On 15 April 2019, the College of Engineering was named The Grainger College of Engineering after the Grainger Foundation. The Grainger Foundation donated US$100 million and an overall donation of US$300 million.[citation needed]
The College has the third-highest per-dollar research expenditure in the nation with over $202 million spent annually. The College is home to 26 research centers, 10 major laboratories, and nine affiliate programs. In total, the College employs 408 research faculty members, 2,681 graduate researchers, and over 1,200 staff members.[citation needed]
Engineering at Illinois is the most cited institution in engineering worldwide, with the highest total citations to research papers.[needs update]
In addition to the program as a whole ranking in top five of engineering schools, many of the departments within the College of Engineering are also highly ranked.
