Building History

 

The Aero Engineering Lab, originally known as Aerospace Engineering, was built in 1954. It fell under the management of James R. Welty from at least 1976 to 1985. The building was originally used as an engineering laboratory for Aerospace Engineering majors with the first introduction of engineering to Oregon State University, but the building has since been shut down and remains unused to present day.
