Environmental Engineering Laboratory

The Environmental Engineering Laboratory within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh provides research and analytical capabilities in environmental science and engineering. The department has unique facilities for instrumentation, investigative experiments, and experiments too large for individualized spaces. These spaces also house an analytical laboratory capable of performing nearly any environmental chemistry or microbiological experiment. Further, each faculty member has roughly 1500 ft2 of highly customized laboratory space either in the Mascaro Sustainability Center or on the CEE homefloor to support their research activities.

The Environmental Engineering Laboratory collaborates with the Dominion Environment & Energy Center, with faculty of the Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering, the Graduate School of Public Health in assessment of health effects, mutagenicity and toxicity potential studies, and with non-University entities for joint activity in environmental science and technology developments.
