Centers and Facilities
The richness of Cornell’s scientific community is enhanced by the presence of interdisciplinary centers, institutes, laboratories, and programs in which members come together from across the campus to collaborate on research, teaching, and outreach. These collaborative partnerships allow faculty members and their students to share facilities, equipment, ideas, and inspiration.
The campus is home to more than 100 other interdisciplinary centers, institutes, laboratories, and programs that support faculty research and enhance graduate and undergraduate education. The research units listed here are of particular interest to the engineering community; for a complete listing, visit the Office of the Vice Provost for Research.
