University of Wyoming opens new research facility

LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) - The University of Wyoming has opened a new research facility dedicated for large research projects.

KTWO-AM reports (https://bit.ly/2wb9CAz ) the 90,000-square foot (8,361-square meter) High Bay Research Facility opened this week holds state-of-the-art equipment, offices and meeting spaces. University Spokesman Chad Baldwin says the facility was made with large doors so that bulky equipment and materials can enter the building.

It will house the School of Energy Resources and the College of Engineering and Applied Science.

The new facility cost the university about $68 million to build. It was paid through money raised from corporate partnerships and funds from the state Legislature. The university began constructing the facility in March 2015.
