The Built Environment and Health (BEH) Research Group at UTA maintains a variety of equipment and facilities for our experimental research. Facilities include the Built Environment and Health (BEH) lab in the Engineering Laboratory Building (ELB) and Modular Building B. A controlled environmental chamber will be available in March 2025.

A walk-in environmental chamber will be available in a new Modular Building at UTA in March 2025.
