Who we are!!!

The Composite Materials and Engineering Center (CMEC) is an interdisciplinary research organization at Washington State University focused on developing new building materials and manufacturing technologies from a range of recycled and renewable resources. We also develop innovative structural systems and design methods to effectively utilize new materials while maintaining economic viability and public safety. We value our long-standing associations with the sustainable infrastructure industry. For over 60 years, we’ve been leaders in the development of innovative, practical solutions for the building products, transportation, and related infrastructure industries.

While it is true that we’re interested in tall timber buildings—and are the inventors of many enabling technologies—we don’t dwell in ivory towers. Our 28,000-square-foot lab is equipped to conduct research in composite materials development and manufacturing, as well as structural and durability testing. CMEC embodies the traditions and the forward thinking of the land-grant university ideal: we partner with those who can benefit from our expertise. The results of partnerships with companies are award-winning research, numerous patents and inventions—and the birth and growth of entire industries.
