The Wallace W. and Julia B. Sanders Structural laboratory is located in room 130 in the Town Engineering Building.
With almost as much space as the main testing area (room 164), this lab is a great asset for structural engineering research at Iowa State University. It has an 80 by 24 foot reaction floor with 300,000 pound capacity loading points on a three foot grid and a 15 ton overhead crane.
Currently, the lab is being used for several corrosion studies and as the work space for the steel bridge team for the American Society of Civil Engineers.
