The Sustainability, Energy and Environment Complex is located on the east side of the CU-Boulder campus at the intersection of Foothills Parkway and Colorado Ave. at 4001 Discovery Drive.

CU said SEEC will bring together under a single roof some of the best minds in environmental and sustainability research at CU-Boulder and in federal labs.
The new 115,000 square-foot LEED-certified building will house shared labs featuring a new generation of analytical instruments and synthesis capabilities not available elsewhere on CU-Boulder’s campus.
An adjoining 289,000 square-foot space has been refurbished for teaching, programs, collaborative work and community connections.
