The NEES equipment is housed in the Winter Laboratory at Cornell. A major architectural study (Hunt Engineers, Architects, and Land Surveyors, P.C., 2002) has been performed and an alumni fund raising campaign was launched to transform this facility into a studio environment for experimental and computation modeling, and advanced telecommunications for synchronous collaboratory activities at different Universities and research laboratories.

This figure shows a plan view of the renovated Winter Laboratory with its highbay and electronic classroom. Below the plan view you can see photographs of the renovated spaces within the Laboratory. The electronic classroom contains advanced telecommunication and educational facilities for collaboration and synchronous linkages with other NEES sites, providing IP Video Teleconferencing capabilities tied directly into the NEES Telepresence system at Cornell.
Winter Laboratory Reaction Wall
The CU NEES Reaction Wall is intended for testing of large-scale structural elements.
There are two major sections of the wall, the high wall is L-shaped in nature and is intended to
serve as a reaction wall for testing above grade structures, and a low wall section that serves both
as a reaction/anchorage location for testing above grade structures, but also as a reaction base for
testing of pipelines. The wall is constructed from modular precast concrete units joined via
unbonded posttensioning, and is intended to be reconfigurable in nature.
