Aiming to improve the fuel efficiency and emissions profile of jet engines, Purdue University has announced an expansion and improvement of its Maurice J. Zucrow Laboratories. “This expansion will boost Zucrow’s research collaborations with leading firms and provide additional educational opportunities to prepare our students for jobs in industry, academia and the public sector,” said Leah Jamieson, Purdue’s John A. Edwardson dean of engineering.
Zucrow currently comprises six facilities on a 24-acre site. A new 9,600-square-foot facility, which is expected to cost $8.2 million, will be added with an expected completion date in 2017. The facilities are located west of the main campus.
