CIR Advisory Panel (CAP) Inaugural Meeting

November 2, 2020 by Kathrine Bradshaw

Foyer

The Center for Infrastructure Renewal (CIR) hosted its inaugural CIR Advisory Panel (CAP) meeting Oct. 21. This virtual event brought together CIR researchers, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES), Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and CAP members. Guests included the Vice Chancellor and Dean of Engineering, Dr. M. Katherine Banks, TTI director, Greg Winfree, associate vice chancellor, Dr. Dimitris Lagoudas, TTI deputy director, Bill Stockton and other members of TAMU engineering leadership. Those serving on the CAP provide guidance and advice on infrastructure industry educational needs, program and development opportunities, and connections to additional resources.

During the CAP meeting, members were taken on a virtual tour of the center by Dr. Zach Grasley, CIR director, and Dr. Anand Puppala, CIR associate director with input from center researchers. John Barton and Greg Baker were elected by CAP members to serve as the first Chair and Vice-Chair.

To further showcase current and ongoing center research projects for members, the CIR sponsored the 2020 Fall Poster Session. Of the posters submitted, three were selected as the student poster session winners. Congratulations to Amit Gajurel, Aditi Pandey and Sivaranjani Seetharaman for their outstanding efforts!

The next CAP meeting to be held in spring 2021.

CIR Virtual Tours Available Now!

October 2, 2020 by Kathrine Bradshaw

The Center for Infrastructure Renewal (CIR) recently worked with Clegg Unlimited and can now offer 3D virtual tours of the center’s facilities. Learn how we make asphalt and concrete are made to last – how we combat the corrosion of bridges and buildings – how the power grid lights cities – and so much more!

Virtual Tour Lobby

 

The center boasts over 138,000 square feet with 11 labs and more than 10,000 square feet of conference space. Research areas included advanced manufacturing and construction, concrete infrastructure and cements, infrastructure sensors and connectivity, asphalt and flexible pavement, structures, the electrical grid and corrosion.

For a complete list of labs and spaces at the CIR that can be viewed virtually, you can visit here. If you would like to schedule a guided virtual tour, please email [email protected].

Founded by Joseph Clegg, former Aggie, Clegg Unlimited is driven to create highly detailed and interactive virtual tours that provide an experience better than real life.
