University of Wyoming Builds Enzi STEM Facility

The University of Wyoming began construction on the $50 million Michael B. Enzi STEM Facility in Laramie in January of 2014. The three-story, 100,000-sf facility will provide 32 teaching labs for chemistry, biology, organic chemistry, physics, mathematics, and computer science. The building will also include eight prep rooms, eight offices, a commons area, and an atmospheric sciences lab to support collaborative research with the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center in Cheyenne. The organic chemistry labs on the top floor of the building will be ventilated by six specialized exhaust pipes that were created as part of a wind tunnel study. The project was designed by By Architectural Means and is being built by AP Wyoming. Ground was broken on the sustainably designed project in March of 2013 and completion is expected in late spring of 2015.
