"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

University of Wyoming trustees on Friday approved initial planning for a building that will house a UW Wind Energy Research Center, including a large, closed-loop wind tunnel.

The action came after UW President Tom Buchanan and Vice President for Research Bill Gern updated trustees on the project, which is a result of a $5 million gift from BP America Inc.

Gern said the $2 million BP grant specifically for the wind energy building would be eligible for matching funds from the Legislature for academic facilities. Through the wind energy center, UW seeks to become a leading national, university-based interdisciplinary research group focused on wind energy.
