Purdue's College of Engineering celebrated the completion of fundraising for a new electrical and computer engineering building near the university's Discovery Park on Monday (Sept. 29).

The 39,370-square-foot, $18 million Seng-Liang Wang Hall is named after the father of Purdue alumnus Patrick Wang, chairman and chief executive officer of Johnson Electric in Hong Kong. Patrick Wang and his wife, Lucy, gave $5 million in 2003 for the new building in honor of his father. The School of Electrical and Computer Engineering will expand into the new facility and will continue to occupy most of the current Electrical Engineering Building and the Materials and Electrical Engineering Building.
