09/02-- Purdue's new large-scale laboratory for civil engineering will be among the best in the nation for studying large structures, such as bridges and buildings. Groundbreaking for the new lab is scheduled for 9 a.m. Sept. 27, and construction is expected to be completed in July. The facility will make Purdue a leader in various civil engineering related disciplines, including remote sensing, wireless communication, advanced materials. Work in the lab will have direct applications in designing structures that better withstand earthquakes, are safer and last longer.
