In 1942 it was decided that a new mechanical engineering building would be erected. New laboratories in the building were made for heat transfer, lubricants, fuels, structure of metals, refrigeration, internal combustion, and others. Named for Milton P. Higgins, Higgins Laboratories was built in 1942. Mechanical Engineering is one of the oldest departments at WPI, and keeping it updated with new facilities and equipment is important. Renovations, including the construction of an addition with a dramatic glassed-in entrance facing the Quad, and a rededication of the labs occurred in 1996. The labs contain laser systems, wind tunnels in the basement, and a large student project lab. It is also home to one of the nation’s few fire protection engineering departments.
