St. Anthony Falls Laboratory (SAFL) overlooks historic St. Anthony Falls on the east bank of the Mississippi River in downtown Minneapolis. This unique location allows SAFL to divert Mississippi River water from the upper pool of the falls so that it flows through the building’s many experimental facilities, then rejoins the river’s main flow below the falls.
These facilities are ideally suited to support a variety of innovative research and educational activities. SAFL was designed and built in the 1930s with funds from the Works Progress Administration and the University of Minnesota. SAFL is an interdisciplinary fluid mechanics research and research training facility of the College of Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota. Their research focuses on environmental, energy and health challenges.
Since 2002, the Laboratory has been the headquarters and administrative home of the National Center for Earth-surface Dynamics (NCED), a National Science Foundation-sponsored Science and Technology Center. SAFL is also home to the Eolos Wind Energy Research Consortium, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. SAFL is currently in the design stages for a complete renovation of the building infrastructure and utilities as well as renovation of the research and training facilities.
This project is made possible by a National Science Foundation federal stimulus funding grant and University funds. It is an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and Higher Education Asset Preservation (HEAPR) project. This free tour is offered by Preserve Minneapolis as part of its Happy Hour with a Preservationist program.
