The St. Anthony Falls Laboratory is an interdisciplinary fluid mechanics research center and education facility under the College of Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota. Built in 1938, the Lab takes advantage of its unique position near St. Anthony Falls to divert and direct river water through the building for use in experiments and research. A tour through the facility will not only give attendees an appreciation for the Lab’s history and unique setting but also showcase its ongoing research and experiments that look to address many of society’s major environmental challenges. The Lab is just off Main St. SE; find a map here.
