About
CICEL unites diverse disciplines under one regenerative roof – math, science, art, and student life – anchored by a central commons and gallery that celebrates learning as a shared, place-based journey.
Net-zero energy, no Red List materials, and ultra-low-carbon systems make CICEL the first most efficient building in the Minnesota State University system – a model of climate-responsive design.
