Subject: Reminder: CENCERE Facility Groundbreaking Planned for Friday, March 1
University and community members are invited to join EIU President Bill Perry and members of the Board of Trustees during the official groundbreaking for the new home of Eastern's Center for Clean Energy Research and Education (CENCERE).
11:15 a.m. Friday, March 1
Location: Future CENCERE site, located immediately north of the Renewable Energy Center
The new building will house a research facility in which faculty and students can conduct hands-on investigations of biomass sources that may be suitable as alternatives or additives to the wood chips being used in the Renewable Energy Center. By studying the fuel characteristics of various biomass sources, students will gain a more integrated understanding of physics, chemistry, engineering and technology.
