Bainer Hall was named after Roy Bainer, the founding dean of the College of Engineering. It is located right behind the Silo, next to a big circular grass area. Walking too far will get you to the Physics/Geology building.
The building houses the Biological and Agricultural, Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, and Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering departments as well as Civil Engineering laboratories. Ground was broken on the building in 1966.
Based on its shape, if the building were a spaceship, it would be a Y-wing or maybe the Enterprise.
If you ever need to get into Bainer past its building's hours, pull hard on the right door of the southwest entrance of the building.
The student engineering shop is also located in Bainer. If you take lab shop class you can learn to make all kinds of cool stuff.
On the roof is a windmill. In front of the building is the Tau Beta Pi Bent.
Other buildings within the College of Engineering include Kemper Hall and EU III.
The Air Quality Research Center is headquartered here. The Concrete Canoe lab is also located here.
