Fulton Schools of Engineering. The 293,000-square-foot facility is south of the Biodesign Institute on the southeast corner of the Tempe campus, and house more than 160 labs-including 81 labs capable of biological and chemical experiments and 73 labs for computer analysis and applied mathematics-plus 60 faculty offices and a 250-seat auditorium.
The first and second floors of ISTB IV are largely devoted to the integration of cutting-edge research in earth and space sciences with public education. A focal point of the building is the 250-seat theater venue for high-definition documentary movies with earth and space science themes. The second floor hosts a variety of learning spaces for K-12 students and educators.
The third and fourth floors are devoted to Fulton Engineering research on security and defense, synthetic biology, electrochemistry and sustainable water initiatives.
