UMass Amherst plans to construct a new building for its W.E.T. Center, which will combine laboratory, research and development, and office space for civil and environmental engineering research purposes. The 4,310 ft² building site will be located on approximately 1.3 acres located off Mullins Way, adjacent to the existing W.E.T. Center. The site includes six on-site parking spaces, pedestrian paths, and storage space for outdoor water and wastewater equipment. The W.E.T. Center is a location for researchers, entrepreneurs, and established companies to test new technologies in water treatment, focusing on methods and devices that can be used in public drinking water treatment, as well as municipal and industrial wastewater.
