Building History

Johnson Hall is home to the School of Chemical, Biological, and Environmental Engineering, and was dedicated in September 2016. It houses a 125-seat lecture hall, research and teaching laboratories, and a center focused on improving recruitment and retention of engineering students.

The building is named for longtime College of Engineering supporters Peter and Rosalie Johnson. Pete Johnson, a 1955 chemical engineering alumnus, patented a new method of manufacturing battery separator envelopes.
