University of Wyoming Breaks Ground on High Bay Research Facility

The University of Wyoming broke ground in March of 2015 on the $53.5 million High Bay Research Facility in Laramie. Supporting the development of advanced oil and gas reservoir technologies, the 90,000-sf project will provide flexible, large-scale research space as well as offices, conference rooms, and conventional laboratories. The facility will house the Center of Innovation for Flow in Porous Media, the Improved Recovery Laboratory, the Geomechanical/Petrology Laboratory, and the Structures Research Laboratory. Research Facilities Design (RFD) is the laboratory design consultant and Haselden Constructors is the construction manager at risk (CMAR). Completion is expected in summer of 2016.
