Missouri S&T's Department of Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering (CarEE) is nearing 150 years of positively impacting society through ground-breaking research and high quality graduate and undergraduate education. CarEE department expenditures were over $4.6 M for the 23 tenured/tenure-track faculty, 29 total faculty in 2018. A 2003 renovation of Butler-Carlton Hall tripled floor space, including state-of-the-art environmental laboratories. Additional equipment and facilities are available through S&T Research Centers: Center for Research in Energy and Environment, Center for Infrastructure Engineering Studies, Center for Intelligent Infrastructure, and the Materials Research Center. The department enjoys strong support from alumni and corporate partners; recent fundraising is resulting in the ongoing $6.5-million expansion, the Clayco - Advanced Construction and Materials Laboratory, to open in 2020.
