Historic Everitt Laboratory has undergone a $55 million renovation and is the new home of the Bioengineering Department.

A growing department, Bioengineering is training the next generation of health care innovators and leaders, while conducting research that helps improve the human condition.

Everitt Lab will provide our students and faculty with state-of-the-art instructional and research facilities, where they can learn, create, and innovate. We are grateful to the Grainger Foundation, which provided a $20 million lead gift through its Grainger Breakthroughs Initiative to launch the renovation.

We are also grateful to Jump Trading for providing a $10 million gift to establish the Jump Simulation Center in Everitt Lab, which is part of the new Carle Illinois College of Medicine. The Sim Center will train medical students in various settings, including an operating room, ICU, and hospital or clinic patient room.

We welcome additional support from our alumni and friends.
