Research & Facilities

Kaven Hall has four civil engineering laboratories (Environmental Lab, Geotechnical Lab, Structural Mechanics Impact Lab and a Materials/Structural Lab) plus three computer laboratories (Stat-Lab,CECIL, and GRCL). The civil engineering laboratories are used by all civil engineering students and faculty, and the computer laboratories are opened to all WPI students and faculty. Uses for all seven laboratories include formal classes, student projects, research projects and unsupervised student activities.

Our Lab Manager is Mr. Don Pellegrino. Students wishing to use the four downstairs civil engineering laboratories should check with their faculty advisor and Mr. Pellegrino.

Our laboratories have recently undergone major renovations. A description of these renovations is available as a pdf download:

Final report on the Keck Foundation equipment grant that upgraded much of our laboratory facilities is also available as a pdf download:

Stat-Lab

Computer laboratory No. 1 (2000 ft. sq. referred to as the Stat Lab because of it's association with the Math Department) contains 28 PCs connected to WPI's UNIX network system. This facility has a complete presentation system (with PC, Computer Projector, VCR, Sound System). Primary use of this laboratory includes computer science and math courses, civil engineering project work and open use by the WPI community. 

CECIL

Computer laboratory No. 2 (2000 ft. sq. referred to as the CECIL Lab) contains 25 Pentium 1.3 GHz with 128 MB RAM computers connected to WPI's PC and UNIX network system. In addition, hook-up jacks to network connections for laptop computers are provided at four large group tables in the center of the cecil room. A complete presentation system (Computer Projector, VCR, Sound System) is in this facility. Primary use of this laboratory is management courses, civil engineering courses and civil engineering group project work.
