Carmenton is growing, and is now home to two buildings that house this collaboration – the Energy Advancement and Innovation Center (EAIC) and the Pelotonia Research Center (PRC). These buildings include spaces for research, collaboration and events. Certain spaces are available for reservation by ERIK and building occupants to promote research, innovation, collaboration and partnerships across campus and with external stakeholders. External requests for space are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
