Research Facilities - Construction Engineering and Management
Mann Hall, the home of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering, contains laboratories for instruction and research, classrooms, computer facilities and offices. In addition, several institutes and centers of excellence at the University provide support and facilities to enhance expansion of knowledge and methods available to construction engineering and management.
The Construction Computer Systems Laboratory provides a cluster of microcomputers, workstations, E-size digitizers and plotter, and other hardware for construction engineering and management research. Included are a variety of software for computer-aided design, estimating, scheduling, process and system analysis. The laboratory is frequently used by students for both class assignments and a variety of computer assisted thesis and project research.
The Construction Engineering Laboratory provides space and equipment for construction education and research involving state-of-the-art instrumentation used in field evaluation of the construction process related to steel structure assembly, concrete formwork operations, rigging, evaluation of tolerances, and hydraulic systems in construction.
Department computing facilities for students include numerous microcomputers, and over 70 workstations. These facilities are networked to the university mainframe computers for larger scale numerically-intensive computing.
Due to the broad range of interests of construction graduate students, specific research may also involve any of several other departmental facilities such as the materials, geotechnical, structures, surveying, environmental, coastal, or hydraulics laboratories.
