Completed in the early 1960s (at the same time of the first major renovation to the [[Jorgensen Research BuildingCenter]]), the '''Compton Engineering Building''' is the home of the ''Advanced Cybernetics, Mechanics and Electronics Program'' (ACME) on the campus of the [[United States Academy of Extranormal Studies]] at Evansville, Indiana. It was built in anticipation of the first (and to date, only) major restructuring of the metahuman programs at USAES, so that the ACME Program would have their own permanent facility dedicated to their own unique program needs. (Previously, the ACME cadets were part of the now-defunct USAES Special Communications Systems Program and were housed in the JRC alongside their 'cousins' in the Mental Enhancement Program. This has lead to a high level of bonding between the programs that continues to this day, and a traditional rivalry with the mystic cadets.)
 
Standing six stories high, the Compton Engineering Building has the dubious honor of being the furthest building from the [[USAES Old Campus]]. This is actually by design, as the well-known tendencies of magical energies to interfere with electrical transmission (and technologies that use electromagnetic energies) would cause issues with the various studies taking place there. In addition, there are various technologies (such as metallurgical studies with materials such as the various form of [[Salazarium]]) that take place within the CEB that could effect the various artifacts, permanent mystical wardings and the powers of cadets in the Mystical Enhancement Program.
