Abstract
The
recently completed New Engineering Building (NEB) at the National University of
Ireland, Galway (NUIG) is a new state of the art academic facility on the
universitys north campus. The building unites all five engineering disciplines
within the university and at 14,250m2 is now the largest engineering
school in Ireland. It represents a milestone in the construction of engineering
educational facilities by incorporating the use of numerous types of sensors to
create an interactive learning environment for engineering students. Not only
will it be a centre of education, but the building itself will act as a living
laboratory and teaching tool. This paper outlines the instrumentation of the
structural elements within the building and the part they will play in the
teaching and understanding of structural engineering within the university.
