Facilities
The Place to Be
Texas BME’s state-of-the-art facilities provide students with the latest in lab equipment and technology ideal for hands-on learning, both in the Biomedical Engineering Building and other Cockrell School of Engineering facilities, including our own engineering makerspace, Texas Inventionworks. Beyond the Cockrell School, students also have opportunities to partner with faculty and physicians at the Dell Medical School and across The University of Texas at Austin.
About the BME Building
A combination of labs, study spaces and research facilities make up the building many BME students call home on campus.
Building Highlights:
- Nine optics labs with two stories underground to minimize the effects of vibration
- Eight tissue-culture rooms
- A dozen wet labs and several dry labs
- Three computational labs for medical research
- Electronics lab and teaching space
- 191,000 gross square feet
More Engineering Facilities
Our research is powered by world-class computing facilities, including UT Austin’s Texas Advanced Computing Center, home to one of the most powerful supercomputers in the U.S.
Texas BME students have access to innovative makerspaces like Texas Inventionworks and startup incubators like Texas Innovation Center, both housed in the engineering hub of EER.
In addition to other collaborative buildings that house our college’s seven engineering departments, the Cockrell School of Engineering and UT Austin campus are teeming with many more facilities waiting to be explored.
