Centers of Excellence Meetings
Monday, October 4

Labs21 Centers of Excellence are independent sites run by organizations that share the goals of the Labs21 program. Labs21 is proud to recognize its current Centers of Excellence:

• Center for High Performance Learning Environments at Virginia Tech
• Center of Excellence in Marine-Based Laboratories at the University of Hawaii

Conference attendees were able to learn more about the exciting activities each Center is undertaking, including:

Center for High Performance Learning Environments at Virginia Tech

The Center for High Performance Learning Environments (CHPLE) at Virginia Tech met with interested parties and potential partners during a special discussion session during which CHPLE summarized activities from 2004 and encouraged attendees to help identify research and outreach needs related to the energy and environmental design and operation of school laboratories and learning lab environments.

Center of Excellence in Marine-Based Laboratories at the University of Hawaii

The University of Hawaii hosted a National Marine-Based Laboratories and Aquaria Network Building Session in order to bring together organizations that own, manage, operate, design, and engineer marine-based laboratories and aquaria. The Center is looking for expert advice in formulating its research and development activities in the design and engineering of sustainable marine laboratories and aquaria. The goal for their meeting was to identify a network of laboratory and aquaria administrators, scientists, architects, design and operational engineers, industry specialists, and equipment suppliers who would provide support, participate on a Center research board, and collaborate in developing specialized solutions for these unique facilities.
