Project – Bioengineering DNA experience
Pictured left to right: Student Diana Slater, Bioengineering Professor Rashid Bashir, alumnus Eric Heinz, Bioengineering Interim Head Mike Insana, College of Engineering Interim Dean Tamer Başar, Provost Andreas Cangellaris, President Tim Killeen, Carle Illinois College of Medicine Dean King Li, William Everitt III (grandson of the building’s namesake), Bioengineering External Advisory Board Member Archelle Georgiou, Bioengineering Emeritus Professor Bruce Wheeler (founding department head), and Student Madhuri Krishna Murthy Ratnakumar.
Following a two-year, $55 million renovation, historic Everitt Lab reopened in the summer of 2018 as the new home of the Bioengineering Department, which hosted a campus-wide celebration on September 21st.
At the conclusion of the celebration, the event speakers and other dignitaries participated in an alternative ribbon cutting, where, through the magic of augmented reality, proteins unlocked the instructional codes within the banner’s DNA strand, bringing forth new life represented by a beating heart.
