GEO-INFO-HYDRO – scientific center worthy of the 21st century

26 thousand cubic meters of modernity – this is the definition of the Geo-Info-Hydro, the research-teaching center, whose construction has just been finished by the University of Environmental and Life Sciences. The investment worth 53 million PLN was co-financed with UE funds.

– This is our investment in further, consistent development of the University – says Rector Professor Roman Kołacz. – We are already a significant research and educational center, educating specialists in environmental and engineering fields for the modern economy. We have aspirations but also a real basis to become a research-educational center recognized internationally. Now we also have one of the most modern research and teaching centers in Poland, i.e. Geo-Info-Hydro.

On six floors of the Center there are laboratories, computer rooms, design labs and social facilities. The basement level is not only a car park but also houses laboratories that require heavy equipment. The labs are equipped with cutting edge technology devices: among others a laser scanner and a photogrammetry drone. Starting in October, the modern Center will be the main place integrating students and scientists from South-western Poland with regard to such specializations as Geodesy and Cartography, Construction, Environmental Engineering, Landscape Architecture, Spatial Economy and Safety Engineering.
