The Environmental Engineering laboratories are housed in approximately 11,800 sq. feet of space distributed between Norris Hall and Durham Hall. The laboratories in Durham Hall, which include three controlled temperature chambers and seven chemical fume hoods, support a broad range of research areas, including water and wastewater treatment, industrial and hazardous waste management, air pollution control, microbiology, chemistry, solid waste management, analytical methods, taste and odor control, modeling, and corrosion control. The Norris Hall laboratories are used for teaching, as well as research, and have two chemical fume hoods and one constant temperature chamber.

Among the instruments in the Environmental Engineering laboratories are several gas chromatographs (one equipped with a mass spectrometer), a high pressure liquid chromatograph, an inductively coupled plasma unit, an atomic absorption spectrophotometer, a thermal desorption unit, an ion chromatograph, a microbalance, a particle counter, a total organic carbon analyzer, a zeta meter, and a total organic halide analyzer.
