Making seismic history right here at Mines!

A landmark research effort led by Dr. Shiling Pei, professor of civil and environmental engineering at Mines, has been awarded the American Society of Civil Engineers’ (ASCE) Norman Medal, ASCE's highest and oldest technical honor! 🏆

Dr. Pei and his team led the NHERI TallWood project, subjecting a full-scale 10-story mass timber building to 88 earthquake tests on the world’s largest outdoor shake table. The result? Groundbreaking proof that sustainable tall wood construction can withstand major earthquakes without significant damage.

Even bigger news: this research is triggering fundamental changes to U.S. seismic codes, introducing wood-based high-rise systems for buildings over 65 feet by 2028! 📈

Students at the Colorado School of Mines often cool off during the Summer by swimming and tubing at Clear Creek. ☀️The Student Recreation Center even has tubes to rent out to students. Their rental office closes at 6PM on Mondays and Fridays, and at 5PM from Tuesday to Thursday. But we've gone tubing so many times that we've already bought our own. 🌊 by @minesadmissions

Blaster's the most perfect mascot in the world. Don't you agree? Starting in 1936, a burro has always been the mascot for Colorado School of Mines. Since then, Mines has become an R1 engineering university with a myriad of new programs, such as the Design Engineering and Quantitative Biosciences and Engineering majors. Colorado School of Mines has come a long way, but Blaster has always been by our side! 🫏💙 by @minesadmissions
