Dive into Science
The Earth, Energy, & Environment Center replicates the Kansas geological landscape during prehistoric times when the state was completely submerged underwater. Exemplifying the depths of the geologic cross section, visitors can view the center come to life under a mosasaur chasing a sea turtle in the Slawson Hall atrium. The complex architecture mimics the state's official stone, limestone, while transgressing into different levels of floating collaboration spaces. Dive into the history of geology and explore what the EEEC has to offer.

Slawson and Ritchie Hall are combined as the The Earth, Energy, and Environment Center, connecting to Lindley Hall and LEEAP with modern walkways to engage in collaboration with multiple departments in support of research, outreach, and education.
