ANSYS HALL
A CREATIVE EPICENTER Walk inside Carnegie Mellon’s ANSYS Hall and you’ll feel an energy in the air. Through glass walls and windowed learning areas, natural light streams into this impressive 36,000-square-foot building. Around computers and tables, you’ll find students debating drawings and digital designs. As the whirring of machinery and clanking of materials draws you further in, you’ll discover students using 3D printers and laser cutters, sawing wood, and welding steel. You’ll see others assembling finished products and complex prototypes of all sizes for course projects, independent research, club activities, entrepreneurship, and more. In each instance, students are learning what it takes to transform concepts into products and move ideas from paper to the physical world.
