SyracuseCoE is home to the Willis H.

Lab House
People currently spend more than 90% of their time in buildings, which contributes to more than 70% of overall U.S. electricity usage. In order to research the future energy efficient and healthy homes, the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) Department at SU is planning to build two lab houses. It is essentially a research lab for students and faculties to conduct research and teaching in the area of energy, indoor air quality and human health.
