Planning a Wright Lab Addition and a new Physical Sciences and Engineering Building

Preliminary planning has begun on the Physical Science and Engineering Building (PSEB), a new more-than-$350 million facility earmarked for completion in 2027 that will focus on initiatives in quantum and material science.

Karsten Heeger, professor of physics, director of Wright Lab and chair of the Yale Physics Department and Sohrab Ismail-Beigi, professor of applied physics, physics and mechanical engineering and materials science, are co-chairing a committee that is collaborating with architects to inform preliminary designs for the PSEB space.
