Welcome to NEES at Cornell

The George E. Brown Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) at Cornell University is one among fourteen research laboratories funded by the United States National Science Foundation (NSF) for construction, expansion and modernization of the nation's earthquake engineering experimental research.

The Cornell Large-Scale Lifelines Testing Facility is a unique, world-class resource for research, education, and outreach focused on underground lifeline response to large ground deformation and the seismic performance of highly ductile above-ground structures using advanced materials and construction.
