The "temporary" building known as T-27 adjacent to the Engineering Research Building has been demolished to make way for steam pipes and other
utility work. Most recently the home of student car projects such as FutureCar, Baja, and SAE Formula, the structure's long history began after World War II
when it was one of many inexpensive buildings erected quickly on the engineering
campus to accommodate the influx of returning soldiers to the university. It
served for many years as a "motor vehicle research lab." The three student
vehicle project teams have moved to quarters in the UW's car fleet garage until
a new automotive laboratory is completed in the planned Engineering Centers Building. The Centers building will be constructed on the west side of the ME Building, in the space vacated by several other vintage "temporary" buildings that have been torn down this spring.
