Cooley Building

The first building erected on North Campus honors the individual who guided the College's transition to the modern age, Mortimer Elwyn Cooley, the second dean of the College of Engineering, who served from 1904 to 1928. Appropriately, the building that is dedicated to the father of the modern College of Engineering is home to one of engineering's most profoundly modern disciplines, the highly ranked Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences -- the first of its kind in the United States.
