Michigan Tech Unveils H-STEM Complex to Foster Innovation and Collaboration

After more than five years of planning and two years of construction, Michigan Technological University announces the completion of the H-STEM Engineering and Health Technologies Complex (H-STEM Complex).

Engineering and applied science research at Michigan Tech spans nano through global scales, embracing environmental, economic, and societal sustainability.

Our goal is to bring real enhancements to the quality of life throughout the world.

Our faculty, staff, and students discover new knowledge, design new devices and systems, and deliver solutions to some of the world’s most pressing problems in energy, health, water, security, and mobility.

Sustainability is infused into all of our programs.

Much of the work we do is inspired by our proximity to Lake Superior and the unique biodiversity of our region. Our innovative approach to engineering education actively involves students in hands-on learning opportunities, leadership, research, and entrepreneurship.
