Build, Test, Measure and Model
CAEE facilities support experimental, computational, field-based and design work across the built and natural environment. Students and researchers use these spaces to study real materials, structures, buildings, environmental systems and infrastructure.
Structures and Infrastructure
Large-scale testing, loading systems, sensing, data acquisition and nondestructive evaluation support work in structural behavior, infrastructure condition, renewal and resilience.
Geotechnical Engineering and Construction Materials
Facilities support the testing and characterization of soils, geomaterials, concrete and advanced infrastructure materials.
Buildings and Indoor Environments
Building-science capabilities support work in HVAC, ventilation, airflow, energy, indoor air quality, filtration, controls, sensing and building performance.
Water, Air and Environmental Analysis
Environmental laboratories support treatment processes, microbiology, molecular analysis, pollutant measurement, air quality, aerosol chemistry and environmental health.
Computing and Visualization
Computing resources support structural analysis, building simulation, GIS, environmental modeling, transportation analysis, data science, optimization and digital design.
Fabrication and Immersive Learning
The Innovation Studio supports first-year design, prototyping, collaboration and exploration.
Starting in 2028, the Howley Immersive Learning Center and Innovation Garage will expand opportunities to build, test, collaborate and innovate.
