Centers, Labs & Programs
John A. Blume Earthquake Engineering Center (Blume)
The John A. Blume Earthquake Engineering Center at Stanford University is devoted to the advancement of research, education, and practice in earthquake engineering. Through its activities the Blume Center contributes to the understanding of earthquakes and their effects on structures and infrastructure systems.
Center for Integrated Facility Engineering (CIFE)
CIFE focuses on developing technologies to improve the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) industry. As a center for Virtual Design and Construction of AEC industry projects, it supports reliable engineering and management practices for sustainable facilities. Industry Affiliate Membership is available.
Codiga Resource Recovery Center (CR2C)
The William and Cloy Codiga Resource Recovery Center (CR2C) is a testbed to demonstrate scalability of promising wastewater treatment technologies and essentially serve as an innovation accelerator. The first project tested resource recovery technology at pilot-scale, extracting clean water, nutrients, energy, and chemical feedstocks from wastewater.
Environmental Engineering and Science Lab (EESL)
The Environmental Engineering and Science Laboratory is comprised of several laboratories. These well-equipped research facilities contain the latest analytical and specialized experimental equipment.
The Bob and Norma Street Environmental Fluid Mechanics Laboratory (EFML)
The Bob and Norma Street Environmental Fluid Mechanics Laboratory (EFML) is home to research conducted in the Environmental Fluid Mechanics and Hydrology (EFMH) Program.
National Performance of Dams Program (NPDP)
The NPDP is an effort to establish within the dam engineering and safety community the ability to learn from the in-service performance of dams, supporting improvements in dam design, operation, engineering, and public policy.
Project-Based Learning Laboratory (PBL)
The PBL Lab's mission is professional development for graduate and undergraduate students, faculty, and industry practitioners. PBL is a process of teaching and learning that focuses on problem-based, project-centered activities that produce a product for a client.
Stanford Center for Sustainable Development & Global Competitiveness (SDGC)
The Stanford Center for Sustainable Development & Global Competitiveness is comprised of four research pillars to advance sustainable practices across cultures, businesses, industries, and economies. Along with its own research on smart and sustainable systems, SDGC houses the Stanford Center at the Incheon Global Campus, the Stanford Center for Innovation and Design Research, and the Stanford Research Initiative on Long-Term Investing.
