The Sustainability, Energy and Environment Complex (SEEC), located on CU’s East Campus, serves as a hub of enlightenment and innovation, where researchers come together with the common goal of contributing to a sustainable future. It houses researchers and programs that were previously scattered among 17 CU Boulder buildings. Partners include the Renewable & Sustainable Energy Institute (RASEI), the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR), Environmental Studies (ENVS), the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (ATOC), and the Center of the American West. Together these individuals will continue to work to address climate change, energy, food, water, policy and more.
The project involves construction of a 142,000 SF facility and 289,000 SF of renovation to an adjacent building with a connecting link between the two. The complex is comprised of offices, teaching, conference, community interaction and laboratory spaces that support learning, research and innovation to contribute to solving the environmental challenges that we face.
